Spin-torque diode have shown great potentials and performance in many applicative fields, from microwave detectors to energy harvesters. In this work, we use micromagnetic simulations to study, at room temperature, a state-of-the-art non-resonant low-frequency-tail spin-torque diode in terms of dc output voltage as a function of the amplitude of an in-plane external field applied along different directions. We find that there exists a threshold value of the injected ac current that promotes a linear behavior of the output voltage of field down to the pT range, and we suggest exploiting such a behavior for the design of a magnetic field sensor.

Abstract
Spin-torque diode have shown great potentials and performance in many applicative fields, from microwave detectors to energy harvesters. In this work, we use micromagnetic simulations to study, at room temperature, a state-of-the-art non-resonant low-frequency-tail spin-torque diode in terms of dc output voltage as a function of the amplitude of an in-plane external field applied along different directions. We find that there exists a threshold value of the injected ac current that promotes a linear behavior of the output voltage of field down to the pT range, and we suggest exploiting such a behavior for the design of a magnetic field sensor.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
