A scientific session of the Physical Sciences Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) was held on November 28, 2007 in the conference hall of the P N Lebedev Physical Institute, RAS. The following reports were presented at the session:
(1) Gulyaev Yu V, Zil’berman P E, Epshtein E M (Institute of Radioengineering and Electronics, RAS, Moscow-Fryazino) “Nano-sized structures incorporating ferromagnetic metal layers: new effects due to the passage of a perpendicular current”;
(2) Zvezdin A K, Zvezdin K A, Khvalkovskiy A V (A M Prokhorov Institute of General Physics, RAS, Moscow) “The generalized Landau Lifshitz equation and spin transfer processes in magnetic nanostructures”.
An bridged version of these reports is given below.
