the transfer of spin angular momentum from a spin-polarized current to a magnetic layer, strong enough to switch or excite its magnetization.

In magnetism and spintronics, spin-transfer torque refers to the transfer of spin angular momentum from a spin-polarized current to a magnetic layer, strong enough to switch or excite its magnetization. This meaning comes from Slonczewski (1996) in Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials.[1]
