From measurements of the current-perpendicular-to-plane (CPP) magnetoresistance of ferromagnetically coupled [Co(90)Fe(10)/Cu]xn multilayers, within sputtered Permalloy-based double exchange biased spin-valves, we determine the parameter…
This paper has two parts. The first part uses a single point of view to discuss the reflection and averaging mechanisms of spin-transfer between current-carrying electrons and the ferromagnetic layers of magnetic/non-magnetic…
An efficient first principles method was developed to calculate spin transfer torques in layered system with noncollinear magnetization. The complete scattering wave function is determined by matching the wave function in the scattering…
There has been recent controversy about the magnitude of spin-flipping in the heavy metal Pt, characterized by the spin-diffusion length, lsf(Pt) We propose a resolution of this controversy, and also present evidence for the importance of a…
We develop a comprehensive description of static and dynamic spin-transfer torque at interfaces between a normal metal and a magnetic material. Specific examples of the latter include ferromagnets, collinear and noncollinear…
The interplay between spin and heat currents at magnetic insulator|nonmagnetic metal interfaces has been a subject of much scrutiny because of both fundamental physics and the promise for technological applications. While ferrimagnetic and,…
Current-perpendicular-to-plane magnetoresistance (CPP-MR) measurements let us quantify conduction electron scattering and spin-flipping at a sputtered ferromagnetic/ferromagnetic (F1/F2 = Co/Ni) interface, with important consequences for…
We present a first-principles method based on density functional theory and many-body perturbation theory for computing spin excitations in magnetic systems with noncollinear spin textures. Traditionally, the study of magnetic excitations…
An anomalous (inverse) spin accumulation in the nonmagnetic spacer may build up when the spin valve consists of magnetic films having different spin symmetries. This leads to wavy-like dependence of spin-transfer torque on the angle between…
We study the magnetic damping in the simplest of synthetic antiferromagnets, i.e. antiferromagnetically exchange-coupled spin valves in which applied magnetic fields tune the magnetic configuration to become noncollinear. We formulate the…
First-principles calculations have been performed in order to determine effective exchange integrals between {\it strongly} and {\it weakly} exchange-coupled Co monolayers in certain modulated periodic $CoCu_2/CoCu_n$-type superlattices…
The interface-induced magnetization damping of thin ferromagnetic films in contact with normal-metal layers is calculated from first principles for clean and disordered Fe/Au and Co/Cu interfaces. Interference effects arising from coherent…
Interfacial spin-flip scattering plays an important role in magnetoelectronic devices. Spin loss at metallic interfaces is usually quantified by matching the magnetoresistance data for multilayers to the Valet-Fert model, while treating…
First-principles scattering calculations are used to investigate spin transport through interfaces between diffusive nonmagnetic metals where the symmetry lowering leads to an enhancement of the effect of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and to a…
Spin fluctuations have a substantial influence on the electron and lattice behaviors in magnetic materials, which, however, is difficult to be tracked properly by prevalent first-principles methods. We propose a versatile self-adaptive…
We employ quadratic-response Kubo formulas to investigate the nonlinear magnetotransport in bilayers composed of a topological insulator and a magnetic insulator, and predict both unidirectional magnetoresistance and nonlinear planar Hall…
The spin-transfer torque (STT) in Co2MnSi(CMS)/Al/Co2MnSi spin-valve system with and without interfacial disorder is studied by a first-principles noncollinear wave-function-matching method. It is shown that in the case of clean interface…
The interface between a ferro-/ferrimagnetic insulator and a normal metal can support spin currents polarized collinear with and perpendicular to the magnetization direction. The flow of angular momentum perpendicular to the magnetization…
We describe a technique, using the current-perpendicular-to-plane (CPP) geometry, to measure the parameter delta(F/N), characterizing flipping of electron spins at a ferromagnetic/non-magnetic (F/N) metallic interface. The technique…
We present a theory of voltage-induced spin-transfer torques in ballistic non-collinear spin valves. The torkance on one ferromagnetic layer is expressed in terms of scattering coefficients of the whole spin valve, in analogy to the…
