contents A demonstration of parametric oscillation of magnetization in nanostructured ferromagnets via voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) effect provided an alternative approach to spintronic oscillator applications with low-energy consumption. However, the phase of this voltage-controlled parametric oscillator was unable to be locked uniquely by microwave VCMA effect. The oscillation phase is locked in one of two possible states, which originates from the fact that the frequency of the microwave voltage is twice that of the magnetization oscillation. In this work, we investigate the phase locking by additional microwave voltage through analytical and numerical studies of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. An analytical study suggests that the additional voltage makes one of two phases more stable than the other by having asymmetric potential for the phase. The simulation results indicate a trigonometric-function-like dependence of the locked rate on the phase of the additional voltage, which qualitatively agrees with the analytical theory and also suggests a possibility to manipulate the phase by the additional voltage.
