Abstract
We study the spin-transfer torque acting on the magnetisation when injecting polarised conduction electrons into a magnetic system. The spin accumulation is calculated self-consistently and naturally includes the adiabatic and non-adiabatic contributions which depend on the rate of change of magnetisation in relation to the spin diffusion length. As an example we consider a system where a spin-polarised current is injected into a structure containing a domain wall. We calculate the spin torque and related parameters corresponding to the adiabatic and non-adiabatic terms directly from the spin accumulation, and find that the dynamic micromagnetic approach based on adiabatic and non-adiabatic terms with constant coefficients is valid only for systems with slowly spatially varying magnetisation.
