A macrospin geometry is considered, where self-sustained oscillations are made possible by spin transfer torques associated with spin currents flowing perpendicular to the film plane. By tuning the delay and amplification of the self-injected signal, we identify dynamical regimes in this system such as chaos, switching between precession modes with complex transients, and oscillator death. Such delayed feedback schemes open up a new field of exploration for such oscillators, where the complex transient states might find important applications in information processing.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-09-13T13:14:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "macrospin spin-torque nano-oscillator", "chaotic dynamics", "time-delayed feedback", "spin currents flowing perpendicular", "spin transfer torques" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
