Proposal of a robust measurement scheme for the non-adiabatic spin torque using the displacement of magnetic vortices
arXiv:0905.3141 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.104.077201
Abstract
The strength of the non-adiabatic spin torque is currently under strong debate, as its value differs by orders of magnitude as well in theoretical predictions as in measurements. Here, a measurement scheme is presented that allows to determine the strength of the non-adiabatic spin torque accurately and directly. Analytical and numerical calculations show that the scheme allows to separate the displacement due to the Oersted field and is robust against uncertainties of the exact current direction.
