PY - 2020/10/09 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Interpretation of the Spin Torque Sign Change in F/N/F Structures in Terms of a Mechanical Analogy JF - Ukrainian Journal of Physics JA - Ukr. J. Phys. VL - 65 IS - 10 SE - Physics of magnetic phenomena and physics of ferroics DO - 10.15407/ujpe65.10.889 UR - https://ujp.bitp.kiev.ua/index.php/ujp/article/view/2020201 SP - 889 AB - <p>A useful interpretation of the spin-accumulation and spin-current distributions in magnetic nanostructures with diffusive transfer has been discussed. A mathematically equivalent mechanical system was proposed that provides an intuitive understanding of the dependence of the spin-transfer torque values on various parameters. In particular, it gives a clear explanation for the sign change of the spin-transfer torque in asymmetric F/N/F structures.</p> ER -
