摘要
We study the synchronization of the auto-oscillation signal generated by the spin transfer driven dynamics of two coupled vortices in a spin-valve nanopillar to an external source. Phase-locking to the microwave field h(rf) occurs in a range larger than 10% of the oscillator frequency for drive amplitudes of only a few Oersteds. Using synchronization at the double frequency, the generation linewidth is found to decrease by more than five orders of magnitude in the phase-locked regime (down to 1 Hz, limited by the resolution bandwidth of the spectrum analyzer) in comparison to the free running regime (140 kHz). This perfect phase-locking holds for frequency detuning as large as 2 MHz, which proves its robustness. We also analyze how the free running spectral linewidth impacts the main characteristics of the synchronization regime. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
