Spin transfer nano-oscillators

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: The use of spin transfer nano-oscillators (STNOs) to generate microwave signals in nanoscale devices has aroused tremendous and continuous research interest in recent years. Their key features are frequency tunability, nanoscale size, broad working temperature, and easy integration with standard silicon technology. In this feature article, we give an overview of recent developments and breakthroughs in the materials, geometry design and properties of STNOs. We focus in more depth on our latest advances in STNOs with perpendicular anisotropy, showing a way to improve the output power of STNO towards the μW range. Challenges and perspectives of the STNOs that might be productive topics for future research are also briefly discussed.
