Fully Integrated Tuneable Spin Torque Device For Generating An Oscillating Signal And Method For Tuning Such Apparatus

A method for generating oscillations, the method comprising

• providing a current of spin polarised charge carriers, thus generating an oscillating signal with an oscillation frequency νosc by interaction between said current of spin polarised charge carriers and a magnetic excitable layer;
• and
• controllably tuning said oscillation frequency νosc by inducing an interaction between an integrated means, different from said means for providing a current of spin polarised charge carriers, -and said magnetic excitable layer.

A method for reading out a magnetic element, the method comprising

• providing a current of spin polarised charge carriers, thus generating an oscillating signal with an oscillation frequency νosc by interaction between said current of spin polarised charge carriers and a magnetic excitable layer;
• controllably tuning said oscillation frequency νosc by inducing an interaction between an integrated means, different from said means for providing a current of spin polarised charge carriers, -and said magnetic excitable layer, and
• measuring an excitation, caused by said spin polarised charge carriers.
