Abstract

Electric currents flowing perpendicularly through a spin valve produce a spin transfer torque on magnetization of the free layer. The spin torque displays many unique features that are different from the magnetic field driven torques. This article reviews current understanding on the current-driven magnetization dynamics, with the emphasis on chaotic dynamics.
