Spin-transfer torque in magnetic tunnel junctions: Scattering theory
Jiang Xiao, Gerrit E. W. Bauer, Arne Brataas
We study the bias-dependent spin-transfer torque in magnetic tunnel junctions in the Stoner model by scattering theory. We show that the in-plane (Slonczewski type) torque vanishes…
Charge pumping in magnetic tunnel junctions: Scattering theory
Jiang Xiao, Gerrit E. W. Bauer, Arne Brataas
We study theoretically the charge transport pumped by magnetization dynamics through epitaxial FIF and FNIF magnetic tunnel junctions (F: Ferromagnet, I: Insulator, N: Normal metal…
Spin Transfer Torque for Continuously Variable Magnetization
Jiang Xiao, A. Zangwill, M. D. Stiles
We report quantum and semi-classical calculations of spin current and spin-transfer torque in a free-electron Stoner model for systems where the magnetization varies continuously i…
Boltzmann Test of Slonczewski's Theory of Spin Transfer Torque
Jiang Xiao, A. Zangwill, M. D. Stiles
We use a matrix Boltzmann equation formalism to test the accuracy of Slonczewski's theory of spin-transfer torque in thin-film heterostructures where a non-magnetic spacer layer se…
Theory of Current-Induced Magnetization Precession
M. D. Stiles, Jiang Xiao, A. Zangwill
We solve appropriate drift-diffusion and Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equations to demonstrate that unpolarized current flow from a non-magnet into a ferromagnet can produce a precessio…
