drives · 1
- a heavy metal with strong spin–orbit coupling (Pt, Ta, W); works at room temperature
produces · 5
- magnon current pumps a spin current into the adjacent metal across the interface
- at an interface with a normal metal the magnon current transfers angular momentum to conduction electrons
