In novel ultra-pure materials electrons can form a viscous fluid, which is fundamentally different by its dynamics from the electron gas in ordinary conductors with significant density of defects. The shape of the non-stationary flow of…
Spin-transfer torques occur in magnetic heterostructures because the transverse component of a spin current that flows from a non-magnet into a ferromagnet is absorbed at the interface. We demonstrate this fact explicitly using free…
