摘要

We study the adiabatic quantum pumping and quantum size effects of spin torque in a magnetic tunnel junction within a scattering matrix approach. Quantum size effects are predicted in the presence of a dc bias as a function of the thickness of the normal-metal layer inserted between two magnetic layers and of the fixed magnetic layer. In the presence of ac voltages, the results for the spin torque show a peculiar magnification effect and advantages of spin-torque pumping in actual devices are also discussed.
