In this paper, it is shown that such spin-wave instability is absent in a state containing a domain wall, which indicates that nucleation of magnetic domains occurs above a certain critical spin current. This scenario is supported also by an explicit energy comparison of the two states under spin current.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2005-01-06T01:19:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "domain nucleation", "uniform ferromagnetism", "spin-wave instability", "explicit energy comparison", "magnetic domains occurs" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
