A theoretical model based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equation is developed to study the spin-torque effect in ferrimagnets. Experimental findings, such as the temperature dependence, the peak in spin torque, and the angular-momentum compensation, can be well captured. In contrast to the ferromagnet system, the switching trajectory in ferrimagnets is found to be precession free. The two sublattices are not always collinear, which produces large exchange field affecting the magnetization dynamics. The study of material composition shows the existence of an oscillation region at intermediate current density, induced by the nondeterministic switching. Compared to the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert model, our developed model based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equation enables the systematic study of spin-torque effect and the evaluation of ferrimagnet-based devices.

We derive the Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch (LLB) equation for a two-component magnetic system valid up to the Curie temperature. As an example, we consider disordered GdFeCo ferrimagnet where the ultrafast optically induced magnetization switching under the action of heat alone has been recently reported. The two-component LLB equation contains the longitudinal relaxation terms responding to the exchange fields from the proper and the neighboring sublattices. We show that the sign of the longitudinal relaxation rate at high temperatures can change depending on the dynamical magnetization value and a dynamical polarisation of one material by another can occur. We discuss the differences between the LLB and the Baryakhtar equation, recently used to explain the ultrafast switching in ferrimagnets. The two-component LLB equation forms basis for the largescale micromagnetic modeling of nanostructures at high temperatures and ultrashort timescales.
We employ the Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch (LLB) equation to investigate current-induced domain wall motion at finite temperatures by numerical micromagnetic simulations. We extend the LLB equation with spin torque terms that account for the effect of spin-polarized currents and we find that the velocities depend strongly on the interplay between adiabatic and non-adiabatic spin torque terms. As a function of temperature, we find non-monotonous behavior, which might be useful to determine the relative strengths of the spin torque terms experimentally.
In this work, we derive the Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equation accounting for the multi-domain antiferromagnetic (AFM) lattice at finite temperature, in order to investigate the domain wall (DW) motion, the core issue for AFM spintronics. The continuity equation of the staggered magnetization is obtained using the continuum approximation, allowing an analytical calculation on the domain wall dynamics. The influence of temperature on the static domain wall profile is investigated, and the analytical calculations reproduce well earlier numerical results on temperature gradient driven saturation velocity of the AFM domain wall, confirming the validity of this theory. Moreover, it is worth noting that this theory could be also applied to dynamics of various wall motions in an AFM system. The present theory represents a comprehensive approach to the domain wall dynamics in AFM materials, a crucial step toward the development of AFM spintronics.
Precise modeling of the magnetization dynamics of nanoparticles with finite size effects at fast varying temperatures is a computationally challenging task. Based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch (LLB) equation we derive a coarse grained model for disordered ferrimagnets, which is both fast and accurate. First, we incorporate stochastic fluctuations to the existing ferrimagnetic LLB equation. Further, we derive a thermodynamic expression for the temperature dependent susceptibilities, which is essential to model finite size effects. Together with the zero field equilibrium magnetization the susceptibilities are used in the stochastic ferrimagnetic LLB to simulate a $5times10$ nm$^2$ ferrimagnetic GdFeCo particle with 70 % FeCo and 30 % Gd under various external applied fields and heat pulses. The obtained trajectories agree well with those of an atomistic model, which solves the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation for each atom. Additionally, we derive an expression for the intergrain exchange field which couple the ferromagnetic sublattices of a ferrimagnet. A comparison of the magnetization dynamics obtained from this simpler model with those of the ferrimagnetic LLB equation shows a perfect agreement.
The detailed derivation of the quantum Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch (qLLB) equation for simple spin-flip scattering mechanisms based on spin-phonon and spin-electron interactions is presented and the approximations are discussed. The qLLB equation is written in the form, suitable for comparison with its classical counterpart. The temperature dependence of the macroscopic relaxation rates is discussed for both mechanisms. It is demonstrated that the magnetization dynamics is slower in the quantum case than in the classical one.
