Spin Hall Current and Spin-transfer Torque in Ferromagnetic Metal
We theoretically examine the spin-transfer torque in the presence of spin-orbit interaction (SOI) at impurities in a ferromagnetic metal on the basis of linear response theory. We obtained, in addition to the usual spin-transfer torque, a new contributioin ∼ jSH ·∇n in the first order in SOI, where jSH is the spin Hall current driven by an external electric field. This is a reaction to inverse ...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium spin accumulation in ferromagnetic single-electron transistors
We study transport in ferromagnetic single-electron transistors. The non-equilibrium spin accumulation on the island caused by a finite current through the system is described by a generalized theory of the Coulomb blockade. It enhances the tunnel magnetoresistance and has a drastic effect on the time-dependent transport properties. A transient decay of the spin accumulation may reverse the ele...
متن کاملEquilibrium spin current in graphene with Rashba spin-orbit coupling
The existence of a background spin current under thermodynamic equilibrium is an interesting phenomenon in the two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC). Here we study the equilibrium spin current (ESC) in graphene with RSOC. For an infinite graphene with uniform RSOC, we found that the ESC is proportional to λ(2) with λ the Rashba strength and mainly comes from the en...
متن کاملSpin-torque ferromagnetic resonance induced by the spin Hall effect.
We demonstrate that the spin Hall effect in a thin film with strong spin-orbit scattering can excite magnetic precession in an adjacent ferromagnetic film. The flow of alternating current through a Pt/NiFe bilayer generates an oscillating transverse spin current in the Pt, and the resultant transfer of spin angular momentum to the NiFe induces ferromagnetic resonance dynamics. The Oersted field...
متن کاملNonlinear Rashba spin splitting in transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers.
Single-layer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) such as MoS2 and MoSe2 exhibit unique electronic band structures ideal for hosting many exotic spin-orbital orderings. It has been widely accepted that Rashba spin splitting (RSS) is linearly proportional to the external field in heterostructure interfaces or to the potential gradient in polar materials. Surprisingly, an extraordinary nonline...
