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.
