Theoretical Proposal for Determining Angular Momentum Compensation in Ferrimagnets

This work demonstrates that the magnetization and angular momentum compensation temperature (TMC and TAMC) in ferrimagnets (FiM) can be unambiguously determined by performing two sets of temperature dependent current switching, with the symmetry reverses at TMC and TAMC, respectively. A theoretical model based on the modified Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equation is developed to systematically study the spin torque effect under different temperatures, and numerical simulations are performed to corroborate our proposal. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the recently reported linear relation between TAMC and TMC can be explained using the Curie-Weiss theory.
