研究目的
Investigating the spatial dependence and spectral properties of auto-oscillations in tapered nanowire spin Hall oscillators (SHO) and their synchronization to external microwave signals.
研究成果
The study confirms the formation of two separate auto-oscillatory modes in tapered nanowire SHO, identified as nonlinear self-localized spin-wave bullets. These modes can be individually synchronized to external microwave signals, leading to frequency entrainment, linewidth reduction, and amplitude enhancement. The findings suggest that tapered nanowire SHO can be manipulated for single-mode operation and have potential applications in microwave amplifiers or detectors.
研究不足
The study is limited by the spectral and spatial resolution of the BLS microscopy technique, which affects the precision of the observed spin-wave dynamics. Additionally, the experiments are conducted at ambient temperatures, which may not reflect the behavior of SHO devices under different environmental conditions.
