Current-induced spin torque resonance of magnetic insulators

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We formulate a theory of the AC spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) in a bilayer system consisting of a magnetic insulator such as yttrium iron garnet (YIG) and a heavy metal such as platinum (Pt). We derive expressions for the DC voltage generation based on the drift-diffusion spin model and quantum mechanical boundary condition at the interface that reveal a spin torque ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR). We predict that ST-FMR experiments will reveal valuable information on the current-induced magnetization dynamics of magnetic insulators and AC spin Hall effect.
