Frequency tuning of the spin-injection radiation in the magnetic contact junction

Аннотация

The frequency tuning of the terahertz radiation of spin-injection oscillator based on magnetic contact junction that is formed by contacting ferromagnetic metal layers with different magnetizations is analyzed. Under the current-induced spin injection from one magnetic layer (injector) to another (working) layer, the interval of radiation frequencies is determined by the current density in the magnetic contact, the mismatch angle of the magnetizations of injector and working layer, and the equilibrium spin polarization. The wide-range tuning of terahertz frequencies of the spin-injection radiation can be implemented using variations in the above parameters.
