Time Domain Mapping of Spin Torque Oscillator Effective Energy    [PDF]

Stochastic dynamics of spin torque oscillators (STOs) can be described in terms of magnetization drift and diffusion over a current-dependent effective energy surface given by the Fokker-Planck equation. Here we present a method that directly probes this effective energy surface via time-resolved measurements of the microwave voltage generated by a STO. We show that the effective energy approach provides a simple recipe for predicting spectral line widths and line shapes near the generation threshold. Our time domain technique also accurately measures the field-like component of spin torque in a wide range of the voltage bias values.
