Temporal evolution of auto-oscillations in a YIG/Pt microdisc driven by   pulsed spin Hall effect-induced spin-transfer torque
  The temporal evolution of pulsed Spin Hall Effect - Spin Transfer Torque (SHE-STT) driven auto-oscillations in a Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) / platinum (Pt) microdisc is studied experimentally using time-resolved Brillouin Light Scattering (BLS) spectroscopy. It is demonstrated that the frequency of the auto-oscillations is different in the center and at the edge of the investigated disc that is related to the simultaneous STT excitation of a bullet and a non-localized spin-wave mode. Furthermore, the magnetization precession intensity is found to saturate on a time scale of 20 ns or longer, depending on the current density. For this reason, our findings suggest that a proper ratio between the current and the pulse duration is of crucial importance for future STT-based devices.
