A series of Co 90 Fe 10/ Ru/Co 90 Fe 10/ FeMn multilayers were fabricated by DC magnetron sputtering. Our results show that the in-plane and perpendicular exchange-bias fields H ex of the multilayers can be controlled by the continuity of the Ru layer. Increasing the continuity of the Ru layer increases the in-plane H ex and decreases the perpendicular one. When the thickness of the Ru layer is 0.5 nm, the perpendicular H ex reaches as high as 682 Oe. The perpendicular exchange-bias induced by a discontinuous underlayer may be applied in future perpendicular anisotropic spin valves or magnetic tunnel junctions.

AbstractNiFe-based vortex spin-torque nano-oscillators (STNO) have been shown to be rich dynamic systems which can operate as efficient frequency generators and detectors, but with a limitation in frequency determined by the gyrotropic frequency, typically sub-GHz. In this report, we present a detailed analysis of the nature of the higher order spin wave modes which exist in the Super High Frequency range (3–30 GHz). This is achieved via micromagnetic simulations and electrical characterisation in magnetic tunnel junctions, both directly via the spin-diode effect and indirectly via the measurement of the coupling with the gyrotropic critical current. The excitation mechanism and spatial profile of the modes are shown to have a complex dependence on the vortex core position. Additionally, the inter-mode coupling between the fundamental gyrotropic mode and the higher order modes is shown to reduce or enhance the effective damping depending upon the sense of propagation of the confined spin wave.
