Spin relaxation torque ${\cal T}$ in uniform metallic ferromagnets with the spin-orbit interaction arising from random impurities is calculated microscopically. ${\cal T}$ is shown to be written by spatial derivatives of the electric field, but is not always given as a divergence of a torque dipole density. The result is due to the fast dissipation of the orbital angular momentum, and thus a conserving spin current cannot be defined. It is discussed that the $\beta$ term in the spin transfer…

A microscopic Kubo-Středa formula for the components of the Gilbert damping tensor is worked out and the elaborated formalism is applied to a two-dimensional Rashba ferromagnet in the weak disorder limit and it is argued that the methodology developed can be safely applied to bilayers made of non- and ferromagnetic metals.

Spin with Inertia
We consider introducing finite moments of inertia to spin. Such inertia generally arises in spin effective dynamics, that is, when we incorporate the effect of environmental degrees of freedom
