[HTML][HTML] Spin insulatronics

A Brataas, B van Wees, O Klein, G de Loubens, M Viret - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
Spin insulatronics covers efforts to generate, detect, control, and utilize high-fidelity pure
spin currents and excitations inside magnetic insulators. Ultimately, the new findings may …

Current-induced torques in magnetic materials

A Brataas, AD Kent, H Ohno - Nature materials, 2012 - nature.com
The magnetization of a magnetic material can be reversed by using electric currents that
transport spin angular momentum. In the reciprocal process a changing magnetization …

Maximizing spin-orbit torque generated by the spin Hall effect of Pt

L Zhu, DC Ralph, RA Buhrman - Applied Physics Reviews, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
Efficient generation of spin–orbit torques is central for the exciting field of spin-orbitronics.
Platinum, the archetypal spin Hall material, has the potential to be an outstanding provider …

Theory of spin Hall magnetoresistance

YT Chen, S Takahashi, H Nakayama, M Althammer… - Physical Review B …, 2013 - APS
We present a theory of the spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) in multilayers made from an
insulating ferromagnet F, such as yttrium iron garnet (YIG), and a normal metal N with spin …

Enhanced Gilbert dam** in thin ferromagnetic films

Y Tserkovnyak, A Brataas, GEW Bauer - Physical review letters, 2002 - APS
The precession of the magnetization of a ferromagnet is shown to transfer spins into
adjacent normal metal layers. This “pum**” of spins slows down the precession …
Y Tserkovnyak, A Brataas, GEW Bauer - Physical Review B, 2002 - APS
We study the magnetization dynamics in thin ferromagnetic films and small ferromagnetic
particles in contact with paramagnetic conductors. A moving magnetization vector causes …

Anatomy of spin-transfer torque

MD Stiles, A Zangwill - Physical Review B, 2002 - APS
Spin-transfer torques occur in magnetic heterostructures because the transverse component
of a spin current that flows from a nonmagnet into a ferromagnet is absorbed at the interface …
