Algebraic decay of the nonadiabaticity arising through chiral spin transfer torque in magnetic domain walls with Rashba spin-orbit interaction
arXiv:1910.11031 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.101.184428
Abstract
Spin transfer torque in a two dimensional electron gas system without space inversion symmetry was theoretically investigated by solving the Pauli-Schrödinger equation for the itinerant electrons inside magnetic domain walls. Due to the presence of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling induced by the broken inversion symmetry, the spin transfer torque is chiral and the nonadiabaticity, which is defined to measure the relative importance of the nonadiabatic, field-like torque to the adiabatic, damping-like torque, exhibits an inverse power law decay as the domain wall width is increased. This algebraic decay is much slower than the exponential decay observed for systems without the Rashba spin-orbit coupling, and may find applications in innovative design of spintronic devices utilising magnetic topological textures such as magnetic domain walls and skyrmions.
