Abstract :
This work focuses on the modeling, simulation, design space exploration and applications for Spin Torque Nano Oscillators (STNOs), with special emphasis on nano-arrays of such oscillators formed using patterned magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with modulated coupling either through spin waves in the substrate or through electrical coupling with AC currents to the leads of the STNOs. This interesting coupling behavior of STNO arrays can allow their use as associative memories.
