Abstract
Nanoscale magnets are the building blocks of many existing and emergent spintronic applications, e.g. nonvolatile spin torque memory, spin torque oscillators, neuromorphic and probabilistic computing. Controlling magnetic damping in nanomagnets holds the key to improving the performance of future technologies. Here, we experimentally demonstrate and theoretically corroborate that a ferromagnetic nano-particle (free layer of a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) nanopillar) can exhibit spin dynamics qualitatively different from those predicted by the harmonic oscillator model. Nonlinear contributions to the damping can be unusually strong, and the effective damping parameter itself can exhibit resonant dependence on field/frequency [1].
