摘要
We discuss a possible mechanism of the spin-transfer-induced oscillations of a vortex in the free layer of spin-valve nanostructures, in which the polarizer layer has a planar magnetization. We demonstrate that if such planar polarizer is essentially nonuniform, steady gyrotropic vortex motion with large amplitude can be excited. The best excitation efficiency is obtained for a circular magnetization distribution in the polarizer. In this configuration, the conditions for the onset of the oscillations depend on the vortex chirality but not on the direction of its core. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics.
