Influence of field-like torque in synchronization of spin torque oscillators
The magnetization dynamics of two parallelly coupled spin torque oscillators,
destabilization of steady states and removal of multistability, are
investigated by taking into account the influence of field-like torque. It is
shown that the existence of such torque can cancel the effect of damping and
can, therefore, cause the oscillators to exhibit synchronized oscillations in
response to direct current. Further, our results show that the presence of
field-like torque enhances the power and Q-factor of the synchronized
oscillations. The validity of the above results is confirmed by numerical and
analytical studies based on the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert-Slonczewski
equation.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figures, Accepted for Publication in IEEE Transactions

Generic bounds on dipolar gravitational radiation from inspiralling compact binaries
Various alternative theories of gravity predict dipolar gravitational
radiation in addition to quadrupolar radiation. We show that gravitational wave
(GW) observations of inspiralling compact binaries can put interesting
constraints on the strengths of the dipole modes of GW polarizations. We put
forward a physically motivated gravitational waveform for dipole modes, in the
Fourier domain, in terms of two parameters: one which captures the relative
amplitude of the dipole mode with respect to the quadrupole mode () and
the other a dipole term in the phase (). We then use this two parameter
representation to discuss typical bounds on their values using GW measurements.
We obtain the expected bounds on the amplitude parameter and the phase
parameter for Advanced LIGO (AdvLIGO) and Einstein Telescope (ET) noise
power spectral densities using Fisher information matrix. AdvLIGO and ET may at
best bound to an accuracy of and and
to an accuracy of and respectively.Comment: Matches with the published versio
