Holographic imaging of magnetization in a single layer nano-contact spin transfer oscillator

• Time-averaged images of the magnetization within single layer spin transfer oscillators have been obtained using the holography with extended reference by autocorrelation linear differential operator (HERALDO) technique. Transport measurements on a Pd(5)-Cu(20)-Ni81Fe19(7)-Cu(2)-Pd(2) (in nm) stack with a 100 nm diameter nano-contact reveal the presence of vortex dynamics. Magnetic images of the device for injected current values of 24mA and -24mA suggest that a vortex has been ejected from the nano-contact and become pinned at the edge of the region that is visible through the Au mask.
