Magnetization reversal, that has been investigated through the ages, is crucial important for both fundamental magnetism and engineering applications. Recently, on the technological application of new spintronic devices, microscale and nanoscale ferromagnets have proven to be appropriate for clarifying the spintronics associated with magnetization dynamics induced by spin-polarized current and voltage. However, the Joule heating and high current density required for the magnetization reversal are problems for device applications. In this study, we focused on that the magnetic moments tightly coupled with their lattice within a crystal. We investigated that the magnetization dynamics induced by the surface acoustic wave (SAW), spin-polarized current, and microwave magnetic fields. By comparison of theoretical approach, micromagnetic calculations and experimental results, we qualitatively understood the magnetization dynamics induced by the current, magnetic fields, and temperature.
