An anomalous (inverse) spin accumulation in the nonmagnetic spacer may build up when the spin valve consists of magnetic films having different spin symmetries. This leads to wavy-like dependence of spin-transfer torque on the angle between magnetizations, as predicted by spin-dependent diffusive transport model, and also confirmed experimentally. Making use of these predictions, we have numerically studied the magnetization dynamics in presence of such a wavy-torque in Co(8 nm)/Cu(10 nm)/Py(8 nm) nanopillar, considering geometry with extended and etched Co layer. In both cases we specify conditions for the out-of-plane precession to appear in absence of external magnetic field and neglecting thermal fluctuations. We prove the assumption of wavy-like torque angular dependence to be fully consistent with experimental observations. We also show that some features reported experimentally, like nonlinear slope of frequency vs. current behavior, are beyond the applicability range of macrospin approximation and can be explained only by means of full micromagnetic analysis.
