Spin-torque devices are based on a combination of giant magnetoresistance (GMR) and tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) effects. The basic structure has various applications, including amplifiers, oscillators, and diodes. For example, if the low-magnetoresistance contact is biased below a critical value, the device may function as a microwave-frequency selective amplifier. If the low-magnetoresistance contact is biased above the critical value, the device may function as a microwave oscillator. A plurality of low- and high-magnetoresistance contact pairs may be induced to oscillate in a phase-locked regime, thereby multiplying output power. The frequency of operation of these devices will be tunable by the external magnetic field, as well as by the direct bias current, in the frequency range between 10 and 100 GHz. The devices do not use semiconductor materials and are expected to be exceptionally radiation-hard, thereby finding application in military nanoelectronics.
