Ferrimagnets composed of multiple and antiferromagnetically coupled magnetic elements
have attracted much attention recently as a material platform for spintronics. They offer the …

This review describes in detail the essential techniques used in microscopic theories on
spintronics. We have investigated the domain wall dynamics induced by an electric current …

This tutorial article introduces the physics of spin transfer torques in magnetic devices. Our
intention is that it be accessible to beginning graduate students. We provide an elementary …

Spin transfer appears to be a promising tool for improving spintronics devices. Experiments
that quantitatively access the magnitude of the spin transfer are required for a fundamental …

As nanomagnetic devices scale to smaller sizes, spin-orbit coupling due to the broken
structural inversion symmetry at interfaces becomes increasingly important. Here, we study …

The manipulation of a magnetic domain wall (DW) by a spin polarized current in
ferromagnetic nanowires has attracted tremendous interest during the last years due to …

We study thermal properties of one-dimensional (1D) harmonic and anharmonic lattices with
a mass gradient. It is found that a temperature gradient can be built up in the 1D harmonic …

The present understanding of domain wall motion induced by spin-polarized electric current
is assessed by considering a subset of experiments, analytical models, and numerical …

In a magnetic crystal belonging to a monoaxial (tetragonal, hexagonal, or trigonal) chiral
space group, competition of the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction and ferromagnetic …

Spin-transfer torques can switch magnetizations via a current passing through a magnetic
tunnel junction, an effect that is being pursued as the switching mechanism in spin-transfer …
