Energy harvesting from ambient wireless signals is a promising approach toward realizing a low-carbon society and battery-free IoT devices. Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) has recently attracted attention as a key mechanism for this purpose, with successful demonstrations at 2.4 GHz for Wi-Fi applications. In the MTJ-based method, tuning the resonance frequency to the target wireless communication band at zero external magnetic field is important for practical applications. In this work, we comprehensively investigate the dependence of FMR characteristics on MTJ structures to establish guidelines for field-free energy harvesters.
