摘要:

基于随机Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert方程离散的均匀温度梯度下的铁磁链的解决方案,我们提出了一个详细的数值研究的自旋动力学,特别是对有限尺寸效应的重点。我们计算和分析了不同温度梯度,链长,和外部静态磁场的净纵向自旋电流。此外,我们模型的非均匀磁化的有限尺寸的铁磁绝缘体和正常的金属形成的界面,并检查增强吉尔伯特阻尼链内的空间相关的自旋电流的形成的影响。本研究的一个特别的目的是检查超出线性响应制度的自旋塞贝克效应。我们发现,在我们的模型中的自旋塞贝克电流的微观机制是磁振子积累效应量化的交换自旋扭矩。根据我们的研究结果,这种效应驱动的自旋塞贝克电流,即使在磁振子和声子的温度分布之间的偏差的情况下。我们的理论结果与M. Agrawal等人,物理修订版信函111,107204(2013)。

英文摘要:

Based on the solution of the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation discretized for a ferromagnetic chain subject to a uniform temperature gradient, we present a detailed numerical study of the spin dynamics with a focus particularly on finite-size effects. We calculate and analyze the net longitudinal spin current for various temperature gradients, chain lengths, and external static magnetic fields. In addition, we model an interface formed by a nonuniformly magnetized finite-size ferromagnetic insulator and a normal metal and inspect the effects of enhanced Gilbert damping on the formation of the space-dependent spin current within the chain. A particular aim of this study is the inspection of the spin Seebeck effect beyond the linear response regime. We find that within our model the microscopic mechanism of the spin Seebeck current is the magnon accumulation effect quantified in terms of the exchange spin torque. According to our results, this effect drives the spin Seebeck current even in the absence of a deviation between the magnon and phonon temperature profiles. Our theoretical findings are in line with the recently observed experimental results by M. Agrawal et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 107204 (2013).
