Unconventional spin-orbit torque in transition metal dichalcogenide/ferromagnet bilayers from first-principles calculations

Fei Xue, Christoph Rohmann, Junwen Li +2

Motivated by recent observations of unconventional out-of-plane dampinglike torque in \ch{WTe2}/Permalloy bilayer systems, we calculate the spin-orbit torque generated in two-dimen…
