J. Slonczewski invented spin-transfer effect in layered systems in 1996. Among his first predictions was the regime of ``windmill motion of a perfectly symmetric spin valve where the magnetizations of the layers rotate in a fixed plane keeping the angle between them constant. Since ``windmill was predicted to happen in the case of zero magnetic anisotropy, while in most experimental setups the anisotropy is significant, the phenomenon was not a subject of much research. However, the behavior of the magnetically isotropic device is related to the interesting question of current induced ferromagnetism and is worth more attention. Here we study the windmill regime in the presence of dissipation, exchange interaction, and layer asymmetry. It is shown that the windmill rotation is almost always destroyed by those effects, except for a single special value of electric current, determined by the parameters of the device.

We report operating temperatures and heating coefficients measured in a multi-layer black phosphorus device as a function of injected electrical power. By combining micro-Raman spectroscopy and electrical transport measurements, we have observed a li near temperature increase up to 600K at a power dissipation rate of 0.896Kmu m^3/mW. By further increasing the bias voltage, we determined the threshold power and temperature for electrical breakdown and analyzed the fracture in the black phosphorus layer that caused the device failure by means of scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The results will benefit the research and development of electronics and optoelectronics based on novel two-dimensional materials.
The spin-dependent propagation of electrons in helical nanowires is investigated. We show that the interplay of spin angular momentum and nanowire chirality, under spin-orbit interaction, lifts the symmetry between left and right propagating electron s, giving rise to a velocity asymmetry. The study is based on a microscopic tight-binding model that takes into account the spin-orbit interaction. The continuity equation for the spin-dependent probability density is derived, including the spin non-conserving terms, and quantum dynamics calculations are performed to obtain the electron propagating dynamics. The calculations are applied to the inorganic double-helix SnIP, a quasi-1D material that constitutes a semiconductor with a band gap of ~ 1.9 eV. The results, nevertheless, have general validity due to symmetry considerations. The relation of the propagation velocity asymmetry with the phenomena ascribed to the chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect is examined.
We investigate the classical Heisenberg and planar (XY) models on the windmill lattice. The windmill lattice is formed out of two widely occurring lattice geometries: a triangular lattice is coupled to its dual honeycomb lattice. Using a combination of iterative minimization, heat-bath Monte Carlo simulations and analytical calculations, we determine the complete ground state phase diagram of both models and find the exact energies of the phases. The phase diagram shows a rich phenomenology due to competing interactions and hosts, in addition to collinear and various coplanar phases, also intricate non-coplanar phases. We briefly outline different paths to an experimental realization of these spin models. Our extensive study provides a starting point for the investigation of quantum and thermal fluctuation effects.
We identify the mechanism of energy dissipation relevant to spin-sensitive nanomechanics including the recently introduced magnetic exchange force microscopy, where oscillating magnetic tips approach surface atomic spins. The tip-surface exchange cou ples spin and atom coordinates, leading to a spin-phonon problem with Caldeira-Leggett type dissipation. In the overdamped regime, that can lead to a hysteretic flip of the local spin with a large spin-dependent dissipation, even down to the very low experimental tip oscillation frequencies, describing recent observations for Fe tips on NiO. A phase transition to an underdamped regime with dramatic drop of magnetic tip dissipation should in principle be possible by tuning tip-surface distance.
Micro- and nano-resonators have important applications including sensing, navigation, and biochemical detection. Their performance is quantified using the quality factor $Q$, which gives the ratio of the energy stored to the energy dissipated per cyc le. Metallic glasses are a promising materials class for micro- and nano-scale resonators since they are amorphous and can be fabricated precisely into complex shapes on these lengthscales. To understand the intrinsic dissipation mechanisms that ultimately limit large $Q$-values in metallic glasses, we perform molecular dynamics simulations to model metallic glass resonators subjected to bending vibrations. We calculate the vibrational density of states, redistribution of energy from the fundamental mode of vibration, and $Q$ versus the kinetic energy per atom $K$ of the excitation. In the linear and nonlinear response regimes where there are no atomic rearrangements, we find that $Q rightarrow infty$ (since we do not consider coupling to the environment). We identify a characteristic $K_r$ above which atomic rearrangements occur, and there is significant energy leakage from the fundamental mode to higher frequencies, causing finite $Q$. Thus, $K_r$ is a critical parameter determining resonator performance. We show that $K_r$ decreases as a power-law, $K_rsim N^{-k},$ with increasing system size $N$, where $k approx 1.3$. We estimate the critical strain $langle gamma_r rangle sim 10^{-8}$ for micron-sized resonators below which atomic rearrangements do not occur, and thus large $Q$-values can be obtained when they are operated below $gamma_r$. We find that $K_r$ for amorphous resonators is comparable to that for resonators with crystalline order.
