Nano-structured magnetic pillars composed of multi-layers containing a free layer and a fixed layer are investigated for their magnetoresistance behaviour. Measurements were conducted using a fixed alternating current in the μA range and a variable direct current in the mA range. The measurements can be esplained in the framework of spin-torque effects. For high direct currents a precession of the magnetization is observed. By increasing the direct current the range of the precession is shifted to higher magnetic fields. Moreover, the influence of an irradiated microwave in the GHz-range on the precession is investigated. For this purpose a fixed direct current is chosen while the microwave frequency is varied.
