Recent theories of spin-current-induced magnetization reversal are formulated in terms of a spin-mixing conductance Gmix. We evaluate Gmix from first principles for a number of (dis)ordered interfaces between magnetic and nonmagnetic materials. We predict that the magnetization direction of a ferromagnetic insulator or of one side of a tunnel junction in a multiterminal device can be switched even though a negligible charge current is passed.

- Vertical-current-induced domain-wall motion in MgO-based magnetic tunnel junctions with low current densities (2011, background): “is that the out-of-plane field-like torque TOOP can reach large amplitudes, up to 30% of the classical in-plane torque TIP [22, 23], in contrast to metallic spin-valve structures, in which the out-of-plane torque is only a few % of the in-plane torque [24, 25].”
