Oxide spin-orbitronics: spin-charge interconversion and topological spin textures

Abstract

Quantum oxide materials possess a vast range of properties stemming from the interplay between the lattice, charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom, in which electron correlations often play an important role. Historically, the spin-orbit coupling was rarely a dominant energy scale in oxides. It however recently came to the forefront, unleashing various exotic phenomena connected with real and reciprocal-space topology that may be harnessed in spintronics. In this article, we review the recent advances in the new field of oxide spin-orbitronics with a special focus on spin-charge interconversion from the direct and inverse spin Hall and Edelstein effects, and on the generation and observation of topological spin textures such as skyrmions. We highlight the control of spin-orbit-driven effects by ferroelectricity and give perspectives for the field.
