Using irreversible thermodynamics we show that current-induced spin transfer torque within a magnetic domain implies spin pumping of current within that domain. This has experimental implications for samples both with conducting leads and…
Spin-transfer torque (STT) provides key mechanisms for current-induced phenomena in ferromagnets. While it is widely accepted that STT involves both adiabatic and non-adiabatic contributions, their underlying physics and range of validity…
Non-adiabatic correction to spin transfer torque arising from fast-varying spin texture is calculated treating conduction electron fully quantum mechanically. The torque is non-local in space, and is shown to equivalent to a force (due to…
