An array of spin-torque oscillators (STOs) for practical applications such as pattern recognition was recently proposed, where several STOs are connected by a common nonmagnet. In this structure, in addition to the electric and/or magnetic interactions proposed in previous works, the STOs are spontaneously coupled to each other through the nonmagnetic connector, due to the injection of spin current. Solving the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation numerically for such system consisting of three STOs driven by the spin Hall effect, it is found that both in-phase and antiphase synchronization of the STOs can be achieved by adjusting the current density and appropriate distance between the oscillators.
