Abstract
This work investigates the spin-torque-related dynamics of nonuniform magnetic vortexlike states in spin-valve nanocontacts, employing an unpinned artificial antiferromagnet as polarizer and amorphous CoFeB as free layer. Subgigahertz spectra are obtained for contacts of 150–200 nm in diameter. Low critical current density and reversibility of the dynamic spectra with respect to the current are obtained. The spectral power and linewidth depend on the in-plane magnetic field, assuming maximum, respectively minimum, values within the free layer’s magnetization switching. For certain field and current windows metastable dynamic states are clearly demonstrated.
