Ab Initio Studies of the Spin-Transfer Torque in Magnetic Tunnel Junctions

C Heiliger, MD Stiles - Physical review letters, 2008 - APS
We calculate the spin-transfer torque in Fe/MgO/Fe tunnel junctions and compare the results
with those for all-metallic junctions. The spin-transfer torque is interfacial due to the half …

In the past two decades, significant progress has been achieved in the large-scale
fabrication of nanostructures where quantum transport properties of charge and spin are …

Spin and charge pum** by a steady or pulse-current-driven magnetic domain wall: a self-consistent multiscale time-dependent quantum-classical hybrid approach

MD Petrović, BS Popescu, U Bajpai, P Plecháč… - Physical Review …, 2018 - APS
We introduce a multiscale framework that combines a time-dependent nonequilibrium Green-
function (TDNEGF) algorithm, scaling linearly in the number of time steps and describing …

First-principles calculation of spin-orbit torque in a Co/Pt bilayer

KD Belashchenko, AA Kovalev… - Physical Review Materials, 2019 - APS
The angular dependence of spin-orbit torque in a disordered Co/Pt bilayer is calculated
using a first-principles nonequilibrium Green's function formalism with an explicit supercell …
