Abstract:
A phenomenological derivation of the transport equations for ferromagnetic moments and associated energy and heat is proposed. The model describes the transfer of energy through an interface composed of a ferromagnetic insulator in contact with normal electrodes. A reduction method applied to the ferromagnetic degrees of freedom allows a two-channel model to be defined for the transport of magnetic moments. It is shown that a heat current flowing into the insulating ferromagnet-produced e.g. by electromagnetic resonance, thermal gradient, magneto-mechanical or magneto-optical excitations-can generate a magneto-voltaic potential and a pure spin-current in the non-ferromagnetic electrode.

Electrostatic Boundary Conditions in Dielectrics
Consider a case where both the mediums across a boundary are two different dielectric materials. Recall that the electric field and electric displacement are proportional and related through the material's permittivity.
Theory of Metallic Conduction
In this theory, Newton's second law of motion is used to determine the acceleration of an electron in the presence of an applied electric field. Then, its velocity is expressed via this acceleration.
