Spin-torque building blocks.
The discovery of the spin-torque effect has made magnetic nanodevices realistic candidates for active elements of memory devices and applications. Magnetoresistive effects allow the read-out of increasingly small magnetic bits, and the spin torque provides an efficient tool to manipulate - precisely, rapidly and at low energy cost - the magnetic state, which is in turn the central information m...
متن کاملQuantum Spin Torque
M agnetoresistive random access memories (MRAMs)—a promising memory storage technology based on spintronics—store bits of information in spin valves consisting of junctions of two magnetic layers. To write data in a MRAM junction, a magnetic field switches the magnetization of one of the two layers. Recently, researchers started to explore a variation of the technique based on the spin-transfer...
متن کاملIntrinsic spin torque without spin-orbit coupling.
We derive an intrinsic contribution to the non-adiabatic spin torque for non-uniform magnetic textures. It differs from previously considered contributions in several ways and can be the dominant contribution in some models. It does not depend on the change in occupation of the electron states due to the current flow but rather is due to the perturbation of the electronic states when an electri...
متن کاملGraphene-based spin-pumping transistor
We demonstrate with a fully quantum-mechanical approach that graphene can function as gate-controllable transistors for pumped spin currents, i.e., a stream of angular momentum induced by the precession of adjacent magnetizations, which exists in the absence of net charge currents. Furthermore, we propose as a proof of concept how these spin currents can be modulated by an electrostatic gate. B...
متن کاملNonballistic spin-field-effect transistor.
We propose a spin-field-effect transistor based on spin-orbit coupling of both the Rashba and the Dresselhaus types. Different from earlier proposals, spin transport through our device is tolerant against spin-independent scattering processes. Hence the requirement of strictly ballistic transport can be relaxed. This follows from a unique interplay between the Dresselhaus and the Rashba couplin...
