Abstract

We have built a theory of the spin-transfer torque (STT) effect in a conductive chiral helical magnet (CHM). It is shown that the STT effect induced by a spin current flowing through CHM leads to the rotation of the CHM magnetization spiral around its axis. The frequency of such rotation of the CHM magnetization is found. The former is expressed in terms of the parameters of the quantum-exchange Hamiltonian that specifies helical magnetic ordering in a conductive crystal. We have showcased that both the direction of rotation of the CHM magnetization and the direction of changes in the shape of the magnetic spiral are determined by the electron flow direction and the chirality of the magnet. The theory developed accounts for the generation of an electromagnetic field when rotating the magnetic spiral in the CHM subjected to an electric current flowing through the helimagnet.
