Robust mutual synchronization of long spin Hall nano-oscillator chains

ORAL

Abstract

Mutual synchronization of spin Hall nano-oscillators (SHNOs)1 in chains2 and 2D arrays3 can increase the signal quality an order of magnitude and be used for neuromorphic computing and Ising Machines4,5. Here, we explore mutual synchronization in long SHNO chains of both NiFe(4 nm)/Pt(5 nm) and W(5 mm)/CoFeB(1.4 nm)/MgO(2 nm) and demonstrate robust synchronization of up to 21 SHNOs. A 300 kHz linewidth (for NiFe/Pt) and very high quality factors (Q=f/△f) of >30,000 for NiFe/Pt and >25000 for W/CoFeB/MgO are the best reported numbers for SHNO chains. Their wide frequency tunability (2-28 GHz)6 with current and magnetic fields along with their large non-linearity, make these oscillators ideal candidates for various spintronic applications.
