摘要
In this paper it is demonstrated micromagnetically the possibility to have high frequency and high power microwave emission at zero field in magnetic tunnel junctions with an off-centered vortex polarizer for current densities smaller than 10(7) A/cm(2). We found power spectra characterized by two harmonics (around 6 GHz and 12 GHz) where the second one has the larger power. Due to the non-uniform configuration of the polarizer, the effect of the perpendicular torque is partially compensated by the Oersted field. Our predictions give rise to the design of a more compact and easily embedded spin-torque oscillators for all-on-chip applications. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3657844]
