- Abstract
The exchange switching of spin valves by an inverse current can be explained by the interaction of the charge carriers with the spin-injection effective magnetic field. Such an interaction gives rise to transverse spin components, which are transferred to the magnetic lattice and cause its instability and switching. The spin-injection field is produced by longitudinal spin components, but it opens up a channel for the transverse spin transfer to the lattice. The spin transfer to the lattice and the switching occur in the free layer of the spin valve.
