Magnetic auto-oscillations in nanoscale devices (∼100 nm) have garnered significant interest in recent years as candidates for microwave or spin-wave sources and neurons in neuromorphic computing. They are generated during the interaction of spin currents with the magnetization in ferromagnetic materials via the spin-transfer torque. However, auto-oscillation modes can’t be resolved with widely used laser-scanning methods. Furthermore, without additional effort they can’t be measured with any stroboscopic technique. The mode formation has to be better understood to improve output power and coherence of such devices. Here we demonstrate high resolution spatial mapping of magnetic auto-oscillations with scanning nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center magnetometry. Our measurement relies on the synchronization of the microwave field generated by the auto-oscillation to the NV-spin resonance. The lateral extension of the auto-oscillation modes is obtained by measuring the intensity of the photoluminescence of the NV center which is low wherever the auto-oscillation mode is present.
