Resonant excitations of coupled skyrmions in Co/Ru/Co nanodisks activated by spin-transfer torque (STT) have been studied by micromagnetic simulations. It is found that STT is an effective method to manipulate skyrmion dynamics. Unlike the dynamics driven by a microwave field, two skyrmions with opposite chiralities move synchronously in the same direction when they are driven by STT, which makes it easier to observe the dynamics of coupled skyrmions in experiments. Resonant excitations of coupled skyrmions can be controlled by changing the frequency or amplitude ratio of a dual-frequency alternating current (AC). In addition, the magnetostatic interaction between the two skyrmions plays an important role in the dynamics of coupled skyrmions.

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.
