Abstract

The usual charge carrier exploited in all electronic devices is the electron (and hole) and possesses hence, associated with its inertial masse, a spin degree of freedom. Manipulating spin-polarized electric current is the role devoted to Spintronics. Investigating the current induced magnetization switching (CIMS), consists in measuring the dynamics of the magnetization due to spin-polarized current injection. It is shown that two different mechanisms are operating. One can be described with a current dependent torque, and the other one is attributed to longitudinal spin-transfer.
