Enhanced domain wall velocity near a ferromagnetic instability

Assuming a Fermi liquid behavior for $s$-conduction electrons, we rewrite the extended Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation renormalized by interactions through the Landau parameters $F^{a}_{l}$ ($l=0,1,2 \cdots$) in an explicit form to describe the dynamic of a domain wall (DW) due to spin transfer torque phenomenon. The interaction between spins of the \textit{s}-conduction electrons explains qualitatively the DW velocity experimental observations in $\mathrm{Ni_{81}}\mathrm{Fe_{19}}$ (Permalloy) recalculated by us without defects or impurity hypothesis. Close to Stoner ferromagnetic instability point where $F^{a}_{0} \approx -0.99$, the DW velocity becomes high ($v^{*}_{DW}\approx 600$ $ms^{-1}$) and critical spin current density becomes reduced ($j^{*}_{c}\approx1\times10^{12}$ $Am^{-2}$) when compared to that calculated by nonadiabatic approach. At the critical point, the DW velocity diverges while critical spin current density at the same point goes to zero. Our theory also provides a prediction to looking for materials in which is possible applies a smallest critical spin current density and observes higher DW velocity.

The average kinetic energy density of Cooper pairs above T_c in YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}}, Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+δ}, and Nb}

We have obtained isofield curves for the square root of the average kinetic energy density of the superconducting state for three single crystals of underdoped YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}, an optimally doped single crystal of Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+δ}, and Nb. These curves, determined from isofield magnetization versus temperature measurements and the virial theorem of superconductivity, probe the order parameter amplitude near the upper critical field. The striking differences between the Nb and the high-T_c curves clearly indicate for the latter cases the presence of a unique superconducting condensate below and above T_c.

One dimensional gapless magnons in a single anisotropic ferromagnetic nanolayer

Gapless magnons in a plane ferromagnet with normal axis anisotropy are shown to exist besides the usual gapped modes that affect spin dependent transport properties only above a finite temperature. These magnons are one dimensional objects, in the sense that they are localized inside the domain walls that form in the film. They may play an essential role in the spin dependent scattering processes even down to very low temperatures.
