Both the inverse spin-Galvanic effect and the Gilbert damping coefficient $\\alpha$ are related to the two-dimensional diagonal conductivity $\\sigma_{xx}$ of the Dirac fermion, while the Berry phase of the ferromagnetic moment to the Hall conductivity $\\sigma_{xy}$. The spin transfer torque and the so-called $\\beta$-terms are shown to be negligibly small. Anomalous behaviors in various phenomena including the ferromagnetic resonance are predicted in terms of this LLG equation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-03-19T11:14:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.43.Nq", "85.75.-d", "72.25.Dc" ], "keywords": [ "topological surface", "magnetization", "surface dirac fermions", "spin transfer torque", "inverse spin-galvanic effect" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2010, "month": "Jun", "volume": 81, "number": 24, "pages": 241410 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 849809, "adsabs": "2010PhRvB..81x1410Y" } } }
