Abstract

The nonlinear frequency shift coefficient, which represents the strength of the transformation of amplitude fluctuations into phase fluctuations of an oscillator, is measured for MgO-based spin-torque oscillators by analyzing the current dependence of the power spectrum. We have observed that linewidth against inverse normalized power plots show linear behavior below and above the oscillation threshold as predicted by the analytical theories for spin-torque oscillators. The magnitude of the coefficient is determined from the ratio of the linear slopes. Small magnitude of the coefficient (∼3) has been obtained for the device exhibiting narrow linewidth (∼10 MHz) at high bias current.
