铁磁金属层中的Rashba自旋矩

Rashba spin torque in an ultrathin ferromagnetic metal layer

Xuhui Wang, Aurelien Manchon

摘要:

在缺乏反转对称性的二维铁磁金属层中,巡游电子介导Rashba自旋轨道相互作用和铁磁序参量之间的相互作用,导致施加在磁化上的Rashba自旋力矩。利用Keldysh方法,在同时考虑磁性和自旋轨道耦合的情况下,我们导出了一个自旋扩散方程,该方程提供了对扩散自旋动力学的相干描述。讨论了在大自旋轨道耦合和弱自旋轨道耦合条件下自旋矩的特性及其对磁化动力学的影响。

英文摘要:

In a two-dimensional ferromagnetic metal layer lacking inversion symmetry, the itinerant electrons mediate the interaction between the Rashba spin-orbit interaction and the ferromagnetic order parameter, leading to a Rashba spin torque exerted on the magnetization. Using Keldysh technique, in the presence of both magnetism and a spin-orbit coupling, we derive a spin diffusion equation that provides a coherent description to the diffusive spin dynamics. The characteristics of the spin torque and its implication on magnetization dynamics are discussed in the limits of large and weak spin-orbit coupling.
