Spin-Orbit Torques and Spin Dynamics

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Spin Physics in Semiconductors

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences ((SSSOL,volume 157))

Abstract

This chapter is devoted to spin-orbit torques and their interplay with the magnetization of magnetically ordered materials. We will introduce basic concepts of spin dynamics and mechanisms to manipulate magnetization by spin torques. Besides that, we will review recent theoretical and experimental progress in this field. The scope of this chapter is to provide an elementary discussion of important aspects of the physics of spin torques as it relates to switching or dynamically exciting magnetization in ferromagnets.

Notes

  1. 1.

    We can further distinguish between “damping-like” and “antidamping-like” torques. A damping-like torque is parallel to the Gilbert damping, an antidamping-like torque is antiparallel to the Gilbert damping torque. However, oftentimes these terms are used synonymously and rather indicate the axis along which the torque is directed. The same holds for the field-like torque, which can either be directed parallel or antiparallel to the torque created by the effective field. However, a more precise denotation is uncommon.
