Non-uniform current distributions of spin valves with disk shaped free layers are investigated. In the context of spin valves, the vortex state, which is the ground-state in many disk shaped magnetic bodies, allows for distinct parallel…

Electron-magnon coupling at the interface between a normal metal and a magnetically ordered insulator modifies the electrical conductivity of the normal metal, an effect known as spin-Hall magnetoresistance. It can also facilitate…

We show how the spin-transfer torque generated by an ac voltage may be used to excite a paramagnetic resonance of an atomic spin deposited on a metallic surface. This mechanism is independent of the environment of the atom and may explain…

In spite of the absence of a macroscopic magnetic moment, an anti-ferromagnet is spin-polarized on an atomic scale. The electric current passing through a conducting anti-ferromagnet is polarized as well, leading to spin-transfer torques…
