Strong non-equilibrium effects in spin torque systems — •Tim Ludwig1, Igor S.

We consider a problem of persistent magnetization precession in a single domain ferromagnetic nano particle under the driving by the spin-transfer torque [1]. We find that the adjustment of the electronic distribution function in the particle renders this state unstable. Instead, abrupt switching of the spin orientation is predicted upon increase of the spin-transfer torque current. On the technical level, we derive an effective action of the type of Ambegaokar-Eckern-Schön action for the coupled dynamics of magnetization (gauge group SU(2)) and voltage (gauge group U(1)).
