exchange interaction

In this article we report on micromagnetic simulations performed on a permalloy nanostructure in presence of a uniform thermal gradient. Our numerical simulations show that heat flow is an effective mean to compensate the damping, and that the gradients at which spin-wave amplification is observed are experimentally accessible. In particular, we have studied the role of the Gilbert damping parameter on spin-wave amplification. Moreover, we have developed a simple model based on a classical transport equation, which describes this phenomenon in qualitative agreement with our numerical simulations.
