Magnetic dynamics driven by the spin-current generated via spin-Seebeck effect

We consider the spin-current driven dynamics of a magnetic nanostructure in a conductive magnetic wire under a heat gradient in an open circuit, spin Seebeck effect geometry. It is shown that the spin-current scattering results in a spin-current torque acting on the nanostructure and leading to precession and displacement. The scattering leads also to a redistribution of the spin electrochemical potential along the wire resulting in a break of the polarity-reversal symmetry of the inverse spin Hall effect voltage with respect to the heat gradient inversion.
