Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Spin-torque oscillation is one of the auto-oscillation phenomena in spintronics which is observed in nano-scale magnetoresistive devices biased by electric current. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the spin-torque oscillation at near THz wave frequency, 0.1 THz, using our unique Mn-based alloys exhibiting spin precession at THz frequency and small damping as well as unique ultra-thin film growth techniques. We observed, for the first time, the spin-torque-diode effect originating from the spin-torque working at the frequency over 70 GHz, near the THz wave range. In addition we obtained an insight into giant magnetoresisitive devices and its nano-fabrication for realizing the spin-torque oscillator based on Mn-based alloys for future sub-THz oscillators.
