Quasi-omnidirectional electrical spectrometer for studying spin dynamics in magnetic tunnel junctions

Rev Sci Instrum. 2012 Feb;83(2):024710. doi: 10.1063/1.3688250.

Abstract

We report an omnidirectional electrical spectroscopy setup for studying the spin dynamics in a nanoscale magnet. It has a measureable solid angle range comprising about 50% of the total range and allows the magnetoresistance and spin-torque diode signal to be measured simultaneously at any angle to the magnetization. This setup can provide detailed information about the spin-wave resonance modes excited in a nanoscale magnet.
