The joint influence of two current-induced effects, namely, longitudinal nonequilibrium spin injection and surface torque, on spin-valve-type ferromagnetic metallic junctions is considered theoretically. The current flows normally to layer boundaries. The analysis is based on solving a system of coupled equations of motion for mobile electron and lattice magnetizations. The boundary conditions for the equations of motion are derived from the continuity condition for the total magnetization flux in these subsystems. A dispersion relation is derived for spin wave fluctuations depending on the current through the junction. The fluctuations become unstable at currents exceeding some threshold value (usually, 106?3 × 107 A/cm2). The joint action of longitudinal spin injection and torque lowers the instability threshold. Current-induced spin injection decreases spin wave frequencies near the threshold and can strengthen magnetization pinning at the injecting contact. 相似文献

Thermal fluctuations tend to destroy long-range phase correlations. Consequently, bosons in a lattice will undergo a transition from a phase-coherent superfluid as the temperature rises. Contrary to common intuition, however, we show that nonequilibrium driving can be used to reverse this thermal decoherence. This is possible because the energy distribution at equilibrium is rarely optimal for the manifestation of a given quantum property. We demonstrate this in the Bose-Hubbard model by calculating the nonequilibrium spatial correlation function with periodic driving. We show that the nonequilibrium phase boundary between coherent and incoherent states at finite bath temperatures can be made qualitatively identical to the familiar zero-temperature phase diagram, and we discuss the experimental manifestation of this phenomenon in cold atoms. 相似文献

Using computer simulations, we study metastability in a two-dimensional Ising ferromagnet relaxing toward a
nonequilibrium steady state. The interplay between thermal and nonequilibrium fluctuations induces resonant and
scale-invariant phenomena not observed in equilibrium. In particular, we measure noise-enhanced stability of
the metastable state in a nonequilibrium environment. The limit of metastability, or pseudospinodal separating the
metastable regime from the unstable one, exhibits reentrant behavior as a function of temperature for
strong nonequilibrium conditions. Furthermore, when subject to both open boundaries and nonequilibrium fluctuations,
the metastable system decays via well-defined avalanches. These exhibit power-law size and lifetime distributions,
resembling the scale-free avalanche dynamics observed in real magnets and other complex systems.
We expect some of these results to be verifiable in actual (impure) specimens. 相似文献

The nonlinear Boltzmann and Boltzmann-Lorentz equations are used to describe the dynamics of a tagged particle in a nonequilibrium gas. For the special case of Maxwell molecules with uniform shear flow, an exact set of equations for the average position and velocity, and their fluctuations, is obtained. The results apply for arbitrary magnitude of the shear rate and include the effects of viscous heating. A generalization of Onsager's assumption of the regression of fluctuations is found to apply for the relationship between the equations for the average dynamics and those for the time correlation functions. The connection between fluctuations and dissipation is described by the equations for the equal-time correlation function. The source term in these equations indicates that the “noise” in this nonequilibrium state is qualitatively different from that in equilibrium, or even local equilibrium. These equations are solved to determine the velocity autocorrelation function as a function of the shear rate. 相似文献

We examine the properties of steady states in systems which interact at the boundary with a nonequilibrium environment. The examination is based on a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation, the structure of which is determined by the fact that it also governs the time evolution of the equilibrium fluctuations of the system. The nonlinearities in the Fokker-Planck equation may have two origins: thermodynamic nonlinearities which arise if the thermodynamic potential is not a bilinear function of the state variables, and nonlinear mode coupling which arises if the transport coefficients depend on the state. While these nonlinearities have only a small effect on the equilibrium fluctuations of a system away from critical points, they are shown to be important for the determination of fluctuations about nonequilibrium steady states. In particular the state dependence of the transport coefficients may lead to deviations from local equilibrium and to a breakdown of detail balance. An explicit formula for the time correlations of fluctuations about the nonequilibrium steady state is obtained. The formula leads to long-range correlations in fluids in the presence of a temperature gradient. The result is compared with earlier approaches to the same problem. Finally, we study the linear response to external forces and obtain a generalization of the fluctuation-dissipation formula relating the response functions with the nonequilibrium correlation functions. 相似文献

Slow dynamics of density fluctuations near the colloidal glass transition is discussed from a new viewpoint by numerically
solving a nonlinear stochastic diffusion equation for the density fluctuations recently proposed by one of the present authors
(MT). The effects of spatial heterogeneities on the dynamics of density fluctuations are then investigated in an equilibrium
system. The spatial heterogeneities are generated by the nonlinear density fluctuations, while in a nonequilibrium system
they are described by a nonlinear deterministic equation for the average number density. The dynamics of equilibrium density
fluctuations is thus shown to be quite different from that of nonequilibrium ones, leading to a logarithmic decay followed
by less distinct α- and β-relaxation processes.

Strongly correlated systems far from equilibrium can exhibit scaling solutions with a dynamically generated weak coupling. We show this by investigating isolated systems described by relativistic quantum field theories for initial conditions leading to nonequilibrium instabilities, such as parametric resonance or spinodal decomposition. The nonthermal fixed points prevent fast thermalization if classical-statistical fluctuations dominate over quantum fluctuations. We comment on the possible significance of these results for the heating of the early Universe after inflation and the question of fast thermalization in heavy-ion collision experiments. 相似文献

Monte Carlo simulations of a sheared Ising model are used to study nonequilibrium fluctuations of mechanical work. The validity of the transient (starting from equilibrium) and the steady state fluctuation relations is verified. A fluctuation relation has been also shown to hold for the mechanical work done on the system, during the transition between two nonequilibrium steady states corresponding to different drivings. 相似文献

We study fluctuations around nonequilibrium steady states of some model nonlinear chemical systems. A previous result of Nicolis and Prigogine states that the mean square fluctuation computed from a master equation in the space of internal states of the reacting species is identical to that calculated from Einstein's fluctuation formula. Our analysis of fluctuations based on that master equation leads with the assumption of local equilibrium to a result identical to that obtained from a master equation for the total concentration of the reacting species, which is different from the equilibrium (Einstein relation) result. Nicolis and Prigogine approximated one term in their master equation, and a discussion of this approximation is presented. The master equation without this approximation yields at equilibrium the result expected on the basis of Einstein's formula.Work supported in part by the National Science Foundation and Project SQUID, Office of Naval Research. 相似文献

The nonequilibrium spin polarization of electrons is calculated under the conditions of spin injection by current passing from one ferromagnetic film to another in a magnetic junction. It is shown that the nonequilibrium spin concentration may substantially increase with an appropriate choice of parameters of the films and operation conditions. This leads to a decrease in the threshold current density required for switching the magnetic junction by several orders of magnitude. 相似文献

We have employed a simple Galerkin-approximation scheme to calculate nonequilibrium temperature and concentration fluctuations in a binary fluid subjected to a temperature gradient with realistic boundary conditions. When a fluid mixture is driven outside thermal equilibrium, there are two instability mechanisms, namely a Rayleigh (stationary) and a Hopf (oscillatory) instability, causing long-ranged fluctuations. The competition of these two mechanisms causes the structure factor associated with the temperature fluctuations to exhibit two maxima as a function of the wave number q of the fluctuations, in particular, close to the convective instability. In the presence of thermally conducting but impermeable walls the intensity of the temperature fluctuations vanishes as q goes to zero, while the intensity of the concentration fluctuations remains finite in the limit of vanishing q. Finally, we propose a simpler small-Lewis-number approximation scheme, which is useful to represent nonequilibrium concentration fluctuations for mixtures with positive separation ratio, even close to (but below) the convective instability. 相似文献

We present a generalized Landauer-Büttiker transport theory for multiterminal spin transport in the presence of spin-orbit interaction. Using this theory we point out that there exists equilibrium spin currents and nonequilibrium pure spin currents, without any magnetic element in the system. Quantitative results are presented for a Y-shaped conductor. It is shown that pure spin currents cause a voltage drop and, hence, can be measured. 相似文献

We elaborate and compare two approaches to nonequilibrium thermodynamics, the two-generator bracket formulation of time-evolution equations for averages and the macroscopic fluctuation theory, for a purely dissipative isothermal driven diffusive system under steady state conditions. The fluctuation dissipation relations of both approaches play an important role for a detailed comparison. The nonequilibrium Helmholtz free energies introduced in these two approaches differ as a result of boundary conditions. A Fokker-Planck equation derived by projection operator techniques properly reproduces long range fluctuations in nonequilibrium steady states and offers the most promising possibility to describe the physically relevant fluctuations around macroscopic averages for time-dependent nonequilibrium systems. 相似文献

Using the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green function and equation-of-motion
technique, this paper studies the magnetotransport through an Aharonov--Bohm (AB) ring with
parallel double quantum dots coupled to ferromagnetic leads. It calculates
the transmission probability in both the equilibrium and the nonequilibrium
case, analyses the conductance and the tunnel magnetoresistance for
various parameters, and obtains some new results. These results show that this
system is provided with an excellent spin filtering property, and that a large
tunnelling magnetoresistance and a negative tunnelling magnetoresistance can arise
by adjusting relative parameters; these facts indicate that this system is a
possible candidate for spin valve transistors, and has important
applications in spintronics. 相似文献

Effective spin-polarized injection from magnetic semiconductor (MS)
to nonmagnetic semiconductor (NMS) has been highlighted in recent
years. In this paper we study theoretically the dependence of
nonequilibrium spin polarization (NESP) in NMS during spin-polarized
injection through the magnetic p-n junction. Based on the theory in
semiconductor physics, a model is established and the boundary
conditions are determined in the case of no external spin-polarized
injection and low bias. The control parameters that may influence the
NESP in NMS are indicated by calculating the distribution of spin
polarization. They are the doping concentrations, the equilibrium
spin polarization in MS and the bias. The effective spin-polarized
injection can be realized more easily by optimizing the above
parameters. 相似文献

The methods of nonequilibrium thermodynamics are applied to study the transport of charge, heat and nonequilibrium spin magnetization in a discrete system comprised of a ferromagnetic metal making interfacial contact with a nonmagnetic metal. A thermomagnetic effect relating spin accumulation to an interfacial difference of temperature is described. Temperature gradients related to spin relaxation are discussed. Some recent experimental results are reviewed using the framework provided by the thermomagnetoelectric system. 相似文献

Thermodynamic fluctuations in systems that are in nonequilibrium steady states are always spatially long ranged, in contrast to fluctuations in thermodynamic equilibrium. In the present paper we consider a fluid subjected to a stationary temperature gradient. Two different physical mechanisms have been identified by which the temperature gradient causes long-ranged fluctuations. One cause is the presence of couplings between fluctuating fields. Secondly, spatial variation of the strength of random forces, resulting from the local version of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, has also been shown to generate long-ranged fluctuations. We evaluate the contributions to the long-ranged temperature fluctuations due to both mechanisms. While the inhomogeneously correlated Langevin noise does lead to long-ranged fluctuations, in practice, they turn out to be negligible as compared to nonequilibrium temperature fluctuations resulting from the coupling between temperature and velocity fluctuations. 相似文献

The probability of occurrence of fluctuations around nonequilibrium steady states is discussed from a kinetic viewpoint. It is shown that in a large class of continuous media it is possible to extend the thermodynamic theory of fluctuations, provided one uses suitable steady-state parameters rather than equilibrium quantities. 相似文献
