Spin
dynamics in magnetic nanostructures
Coherent magnetization dynamics in ferromagnetic metals "drags" quasiparticle
spins resulting in a source of magnetic dissipation and noise on the one hand
and quasiparticle spin flows on the other. The consequences can be especially
dramatic in heterostructures where interfaces result in dynamic leakage of the
magnetic order parameter, as confirmed in a number of recent experiments. Developing
these ideas allows to lay ground for a general treatment of the semiclassical
interaction between order-parameter dynamics and quasiparticle flows in heterostructures
and bulk. As a demonstration of general principles, I will first discuss curious
examples of interplay between helical, magnetic, and superconducting ordering
in time-dependent problems. Finally, I will talk about the interaction of charge
currents and magnetization dynamics in itinerant ferromagnets with some surprising
results.
