Abstract

The phenomena of spin tunneling and spin torque transfer between magnetic layers of a tunnel spin-valve setup under weak and strong field emissions of spin-polarized electrons are considered. Bifurcational features of changes in the macrospin states under the impact of a tunnel current are discussed for varying directions of the spin-polarization vector.
