Analysis of a coupled spin drift-diffusion Maxwell-Landau-Lifshitz system
Abstract
The existence of global weak solutions to a coupled spin drift-diffusion and Maxwell-Landau-Lifshitz system is proved. The equations are considered in a two-dimensional magnetic layer structure and are supplemented with Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions. The spin drift-diffusion model for the charge density and spin density vector is the diffusion limit of a spinorial Boltzmann equation for a vanishing spin polarization constant. The Maxwell-Landau-Lifshitz system consists of the time-dependent Maxwell equations for the electric and magnetic fields and of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation for the local magnetization, involving the interaction between magnetization and spin density vector. The existence proof is based on a regularization procedure, $L^2$-type estimates, and Moser-type iterations which yield the boundedness of the charge and spin densities. Furthermore, the free energy is shown to be nonincreasing in time if the magnetization-spin interaction constant in the Landau-Lifshitz equation is sufficiently small.
