The spin torque operates to dissipate the angular momentum of the magnetization precession, and the torque increases in a spin vortex structure. We calculate the magnetization reversal time under a DC magnetic field using the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation containing a spin torque term. We found that the spin torque changes the magnetization switching speed significantly during the reversal process by maintaining a spin vortex in an intermediate state.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-11-02T03:30:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "nonuniform spin distribution", "magnetization switching", "magnetization reversal time", "ferromagnetic fine particle", "spin torque operates" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "IEEE Transactions on Magnetics", "year": 2012, "month": "Nov", "volume": 48, "number": 11, "pages": 3951 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012ITM....48.3951H" } } }
