Electron Orbital Model

Electron Orbital Model

Orbitals are the areas outside of the atomic nucleus where electrons are most likely to reside. They are characterized by different energy levels, shapes, and three-dimensional orientations. The location of electrons is described most generally by a shell or principal energy level, then by a subshell within each shell, and finally, by individual orbitals found within the subshells.
The first shell is closest to the nucleus, and it has only one subshell with a single spherical orbital called the...

Torque

Torque

Torque is an important quantity for describing the dynamics of a rotating rigid body. We see the application of torque in many ways in the world, such as when pressing the accelerator in a car, which causes the engine to apply additional torque on the drivetrain. Here, we define torque and provide a framework to create an equation to calculate torque for a rigid body with fixed-axis rotation.
Torque can be considered as the rotational counterpart to force. Since forces change the translational...

Atomic Orbitals

Atomic Orbitals

An atomic orbital represents the three-dimensional regions in an atom where an electron has the highest probability to reside. The radial distribution function indicates the total probability of finding an electron within the thin shell at a distance r from the nucleus. The atomic orbitals have distinct shapes which are determined by l, the angular momentum quantum number. The orbitals are often drawn with a boundary surface, enclosing densest regions of the cloud.

Microwave applications

Background:

Spin torque and spin Hall effect nano-oscillators are crucial for nanoscale spin wave auto-oscillations.
Current devices often require complex structures with additional ferromagnetic layers or high spin Hall angle materials for spin current generation.

Purpose of the Study:

To demonstrate a simplified design for auto-oscillating nano-magnetic systems.
To achieve highly coherent, field, and current tunable microwave signals from a single ferromagnetic layer.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of nano-constrictions in single 15-20 nm thick permalloy layers with oxide interfaces.
Utilized spin torque ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR) measurements.
Employed scanning micro-Brillouin light scattering (μBLS) microscopy and micromagnetic simulations.

Main Results:

Successfully generated highly coherent, field and current tunable microwave signals.
Identified the auto-oscillations originating from a localized edge mode within the nano-constriction.
Confirmed the driving mechanism as spin-orbit torques.

Conclusions:

Demonstrated a simplified approach to auto-oscillating nano-magnetic systems using single ferromagnetic layers and oxide interfaces.
This advancement simplifies the design and fabrication of devices for spintronics, magnonics, and neuromorphic computing.
