Abstract

Interplay between magnetization dynamics and electric current in a conducting ferromagnet is theoretically studied based on a microscopic model calculation. First, the effects of the current on magnetization dynamics (spin torques) are studied with special attention to the "dissipative" torques arising from spin-relaxation processes of conduction electrons. Next, an analysis is given of the "spin motive force", namely, a spin-dependent 'voltage' generation due to magnetization dynamics, which is the reaction to spin torques. Finally, an attempt is presented of a unified description of these effects.
