Spin transfer torque oscillator based on asymmetric magnetic tunnel junctions

We present a study of the spin transfer torque oscillator based on CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB asymmetric magnetic tunnel junctions. We observe microwave precession in junctions with different thickness of the free magnetization layer. Taking advantage of the ferromagnetic interlayer exchange coupling between the free and reference layer in the MTJ and perpendicular interface anisotropy in thin CoFeB electrode we demonstrate the nanometer scale device that can generate high frequency signal without external magnetic field applied. The amplitude of the oscillation exceeds 10 nV/Hz^0.5 at 1.5 GHz.
