Abstract:
Neuromorphic computing using spintronic devices, such as spin-torque oscillators (STOs), has been intensively studied for energy-efficient data processing. One of the critical issues in this application is stochasticity in magnetization dynamics, which limits the accuracy of computation. Such stochastic behavior, however, plays a key role in stochastic computing and machine learning. It is therefore important to develop methods for both suppressing and enhancing stochastic response in spintronic devices. We report on experimental investigations on control of stochastic quantity, such as the width of a distribution of transient time in magnetization dynamics in vortex-type STO. The spin-transfer effect can suppress stochasticity in transient dynamics from a non-oscillating to oscillating state, whereas an application of a radio-frequency magnetic field is effective in reducing stochasticity on the time evolution of the oscillating state.
