Abstract
We report on a theoretical study of the magnetodipolar coupling and synchronization between two vortex-based spin-torque nano-oscillators (STVOs). In this work we study the dependence of the coupling efficiency on the relative magnetization parameters of the vortices in the system. This study is performed in order to propose an optimized configuration of the vortices for synchronizing STVOs. For this purpose, we combine micromagnetic simulations, the Thiele equation approach, and the analytical macrodipole approximation model to identify the optimized configuration for achieving phase-locking between neighboring oscillators. Notably, we compare vortices configurations with parallel (P) core polarities and with opposite (AP) core polarities. We demonstrate that the AP core configuration exhibits a coupling strength about three times higher than in the P core configuration.
