实际材料中的非绝热自旋转移矩

Non-Adiabatic Spin Transfer Torque in Real Materials

Ion Garate, K. Gilmore, M. D. Stiles, A. H. MacDonald

摘要:

简单的畴壁和更复杂的磁纹理的存在下的传输电流的运动所描述的朗道-Lifshitz-Slonczewski(LLS)方程。LLS方程的预测敏感地依赖于表征非绝热自旋转移力矩的无量纲材料参数$β$和Gilbert阻尼参数$α$之间的比值。该比率被各种估计为接近0、接近1和大于1。通过将$β$定义为传输电流对$α$的影响,我们导出了一个简洁、明确和相对简单的表达式,它将$β$与磁性金属的能带结构和Bloch态寿命联系起来。使用这个表达式,我们表明,内在的自旋轨道相互作用导致带内贡献的$β$,这往往是占主导地位的,可以(i)估计有一定的信心和(ii)解释使用“呼吸费米面”模型。

英文摘要:

The motion of simple domain walls and of more complex magnetic textures in the presence of a transport current is described by the Landau-Lifshitz-Slonczewski (LLS) equations. Predictions of the LLS equations depend sensitively on the ratio between the dimensionless material parameter $β$ which characterizes non-adiabatic spin-transfer torques and the Gilbert damping parameter $α$. This ratio has been variously estimated to be close to 0, close to 1, and large compared to 1. By identifying $β$ as the influence of a transport current on $α$, we derive a concise, explicit and relatively simple expression which relates $β$ to the band structure and Bloch state lifetimes of a magnetic metal. Using this expression we demonstrate that intrinsic spin-orbit interactions lead to intra-band contributions to $β$ which are often dominant and can be (i) estimated with some confidence and (ii) interpreted using the "breathing Fermi surface" model.
