Theory of Domain Wall Dynamics under Current

Abstract

Microscopic theory of domain wall dynamics under electric current is reviewed. Domain wall is treated as rigid and planar. The spin-transfer torque and forces on the wall are derived based on the $s$-$d$ exchange interaction between localized spins and conduction electrons, treating non-adiabaticity expressed by the gauge field perturbatively. Effect of spin relaxation is also studied.
