Journal ArticleDOI
Images of a spin-torque-driven magnetic nano-oscillator
Xiaowei Yu,Vlad Pribiag,Yves Acremann,Ashwin Tulapurkar,Tolek Tyliszczak,Kang Wei Chou,Björn Bräuer,Zhi-Pan Li,O. J. Lee,P. G. Gowtham,Daniel C. Ralph,Robert A. Buhrman,Joachim Stöhr +12 more
TL;DR: This work presents the first space- and time-resolved images of the spin-torque-induced steady-state oscillation of a magnetic vortex in a spin-valve nanostructure and finds that the vortex structure in a nanopillar is considerably more complicated than the 2D idealized structure often-assumed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Observation of Spin-Torque Driven Magnetization Reversal through Nonuniform Modes
John Paul Strachan,V. Chembrolu,Yves Acremann,Xiaowei Yu,Ashwin Tulapurkar,Tolek Tyliszczak,Jordan A. Katine,Matthew J. Carey,M. R. Scheinfein,H. C. Siegmann,Joachim Stöhr +10 more
TL;DR: Time-resolved x-ray images with 30 nm spatial and 70 ps temporal resolution reveal details of the spatially resolved magnetization evolution in nanoscale samples of various dimensions during reversible spin-torque switching processes, suggesting a simple unified picture of magnetic switching based on the motion of a magnetic vortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maxwell equation for coupled spin-charge wave propagation.
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the dissipationless spin current in the ground state of the Rashba model gives rise to a reactive coupling between the spin and charge propagation, which is formally identical to the coupling between electric and the magnetic fields in the 2 + 1 dimensional Maxwell equation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spin filtering and spin-polarization reversal in multilayered ferromagnetic metal/semiconductor heterostructures
Yong Guo,Xiaowei Yu,Yu-Xian Li +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the spin-filtering effect in multilayered ferromagnetic (F)/semiconductor (S) heterostructures within the Landauer framework of ballistic transport was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
An amplifier concept for spintronics
Yves Acremann,Xiaowei Yu,Ashwin Tulapurkar,A. Scherz,V. Chembrolu,Jordan A. Katine,Matthew J. Carey,H. C. Siegmann,Joachim Stöhr +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the basic concept of a spin amplifier is introduced and the authors propose ways to amplify a spin current at room temperature at the expense of the spin current being lost in the spin amplifier.
