Geometric Dynamics of Magnetization: Electronic Contribution

Magnetization dynamics has been routinely studied using the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation. Although the LLG equation has a quantum mechanical origin and reflects the fact that magnetization and angular momentum of electrons are really the same thing, it has been used most of the time as a classical equation. The reason for it is that magnetism …
