摘要：
Nanopillar spin valve devices are typically composed of two ferromagnetic layers: a reference layer and a free layer whose magnetic orientation can be changed by both an external magnetic field and through the introduction of spin-polarized electric current. Here we report the continuous repeated switching behavior of both the reference and free layers of a perpendicular spin valve made of Co/Pd and Co/Ni multilayers that arises for sufficiently large dc currents. This periodic switching of the two layers produces an oscillating signal in the megahertz regime, but is observed for only one sign of the applied current. The observed behavior agrees well with micromagnetic simulations.
