Quantum spin transfer torque induced nonclassical magnetization dynamics and electron-magnetization entanglement

Magnetization Dynamics Symmetry in Spin Torque Induced Magnetization Switching

Magnetization dynamics symmetry plays important roles in magnetization switching. Here we study magnetic field and spin torque induced magnetization switching. Spin moment transferring from polarized itinerant electrons to local magnetization provides a magnetization switching mechanism without using external magnetic field. Besides its importance in fundamental magnetization switching dynamics...

Spin Transfer due to Quantum Magnetization Fluctuations.

We utilize a nanoscale magnetic spin-valve structure to demonstrate that current-induced magnetization fluctuations at cryogenic temperatures result predominantly from the quantum fluctuations enhanced by the spin transfer effect. The demonstrated spin transfer due to quantum magnetization fluctuations is distinguished from the previously established current-induced effects by a nonsmooth piece...

Thermally assisted spin-transfer torque magnetization reversal in uniaxial nanomagnets

We simulate the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert dynamics of a uniaxial nanomagnet out to sub-millisecond timescales using a graphical processing unit based micromagnetic code and determine the effect of geometrical tilts between the spin-current and uniaxial anisotropy axes on the thermally assisted reversal dynamics. The asymptotic behavior of the switching time (I ! 0; hsi / expð"nð1 " IÞÞ...

Spin-transfer-induced precessional magnetization reversal

A magnetoelectronic device is proposed in which a spin-current pulse produces a rapid reversal of the magnetization of a thin film nanomagnet. A spin-transfer torque induces the reversal and the switching speed is determined by the precession frequency of the magnetization in a thin film element’s demagnetization field. Micromagnetic simulations show that this switching occurs above a threshold...
