Abstract

A semiclassical model of the spin momentum transfer in ferromagnetic film (FM)/normal metal (NM) structures is presented. It is based on the Landau-Lifshitz equation of motion and the exchange interaction in FM, and on the spin diffusion equation in NM. The internal magnetic field is treated by employing Maxwell's equations. A precessing magnetization in FM creates a spin ...
