We have used a MHz lock-in x-ray spectro-microscopy technique to directly detect changes of magnetic moments in Cu due to spin injection from an adjacent Co layer. The elemental and chemical specificity of x-rays allows us to distinguish…

The dynamics of a single spin embedded in the tunnel junction (quantum point contact) between ferromagnets is addressed. Using the Keldysh technique, we derive a quantum Langevin equation. As a consequence of the spin-polarization in the…

The discovery that a spin polarized current can exert a large torque on a ferromagnet through a transfusion of spin angular momentum, offers a new way to control a magnetization by simple current injection, without the help of an applied…

Effects of an incoming spin-polarized current on a magnetic moment are explored. We found that the spin torque occurs only when the incoming spin changes as a function of time inside of the magnetic film. This implies that some…

Noncollinear antiferromagnets, such as Mn$_3$Sn and Mn$_3$Ir, were recently shown to be analogous to ferromagnets in that they have a large anomalous Hall effect. Here we show that these materials are similar to ferromagnets in another…

We identify hexagonal YMnO$_3$ as a material realization of the elusive $\beta$-phase of unconventional magnetism, a noncollinear, noncoplanar antiferromagnetic state defined by intrinsic spin-momentum locking and a topological spin…

A formula of the spin current in mesoscopic superconductors is derived from the mean-field theory of superconductivity. The spin flow is generated by the spatial fluctuations of $\vec{d}$ which represents a spin state of spin-triplet…

A spin current - a flow of spin angular momentum - can be carried either by spin polarised free electrons or by magnons, the quanta of a moving collective oscillation of localised electron spins - a spin wave. Traditionally, it was assumed,…

We observe strongly nonlinear spin dynamics in ferro-/antiferro-magnetic multilayers, controlled by the number of bilayers in the system, layer thicknesses, as well as temperature, peaking in magnitude near the N\'eel point of the…
