The method works for both ferromagnets and antiferromagnets, it works in 2d and 3d as well as 1d, and it works for arbitrary spin not just for spin12. Given how small the electron is generally taken to be, it would have to rotate superluminally to have the right angular momentum and magnetic moment. What we can do is let the spins share the spin flip, which is a key feature of a spin wave excitation. Its most intuitive to imagine the spin as a rotation of the electron around its axis although this cannot be true because then the electron would rotate faster than the speed of light which is considered as being impossible in reality. Here we shall speeialize to the quantum heisenberg model and derive the loworder harmonie spin wave theory. Currentinduced spinorbit torques currentinduced spinorbit torques. In chapter 10, we eonstrueted the spin path integral and demonstrated that its larges limit reeovers the thermodynamies and dynamies of elassieal spins.
