Current induced magnetic reversal due to spin transfer torque is a promising candidate in advanced information storage technology. It has been intensively studied. This work reports the field-dependence of switching-currents for current induced magnetization switching in a uncoupled nano-sized cobalt-based spin valve of exchange biased type. The dependency is investigated in hysteretic regime at room temperature, in comparison with that of a trilayer simple spin valve. In the simple spin valve, the switching currents behave to the positive and the negative applied magnetic field symmetrically. In the exchange biased type, in contrast, the switching currents respond to the negative field in a quite unusual and different manner than to the positive field. A negative magnetic field then can shift the switching-currents into either negative or positive current range, dependently on whether a parallel or an antiparallel state of the spin valve was produced by that field. This different character of switching currents in the negative field range can be explained by the effect of the exchange bias pinning field on the spin-polarizer (the fixed Co layer) of the exchange biased spin valve. That unidirectional pinning filed could suppress the thermal magnetization fluctuation in the spin-polarizer, leading to a higher spin polarization of the current, and hence a lower switching current density than in the simple spin valve.

Understanding the dynamic behavior of an isolated skyrmion with external perturbations has been obstructed due to the difficulty in experimentally observing such an instantaneous phenomenon within picoseconds. Herein, we theoretically investigated the spin-transfer-torque-induced dynamics of an isolated skyrmion excited by external nanosecond-pulse perturbations. It is found that a redshift of the resonant frequency appears under a pulse polarized current with [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]A/m2 and [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]GHz, while a blueshift is presented under a combined perturbation of the pulse polarized current and an out-of-plane ac magnetic field. The physic origins of the redshift and the blueshift are ascribed to the increased average energy of system from [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]J to [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]J and integer multiple (twofold and fourfold) oscillation frequencies of total energy, respectively. The present study could thus provide an insight to the micromagnetic dynamics of skyrmion under the magnetoelectric couplings.

A bottom-up approach for the fabrication of an assembly of electrodeposited nanowires has been combined to single nanowire electrical connection techniques to investigate the spin-transfer-torque and microwave emission of specially designed nanowires containing Co/Cu/Co pseudo spin-valves (SVs). Porous alumina templates are used for the growth by electrodeposition of metallic in-series connected SVs. Under specific magnetic field and injected current conditions, emission of microwave current is detected with frequency in the GHz range and linewidth as low as 1.8[Formula: see text]MHz. Microwave signals have been obtained even at zero magnetic field and high frequency versus magnetic field tunability was demonstrated. Our findings are in good agreement with micromagnetic simulations. In addition, it appears that in our particular geometry, the microwave emission is generated by the vortex gyrotropic motion which occurs in, at least, one of the two magnetic layers of our SV structures.
