Magnetostochastic resonance under colored noise condition

Stochastic resonance (SR) is an amplification of the system output in correspondence of well-defined finite values of the noise strength that is injected into the system [Gammaitoni et al., Rev. Mod. Phys. 70, 223 (1998), Grigorenko et al., IEEE Trans. Magn. 31, 2491 (1995), Mantegna et al., J. Appl. Phys. 97, 10E519 (2005)]. In order to clarify the influence of a colored noise, in this paper magnetostochastic resonance (MSR) in magnetic systems described by the dynamic Preisach model is numerically investigated in the presence of colored noise. In this paper it is shown that: a) noise spectrum affects MSR; b) white noise, 1/f and 1/f(2) noise induce in magnetic systems described by the dynamic Preisach model MSR; c) the maximum level of signal-to-noise (SNR) is obtained by using white noise but 1/f noise presents a range where SNR value is higher than the case of white noise; d) maximum signal amplification is obtained for white noise.
