Interface-Controlled Spin-Orbit Torques in Rare-Earth Synthetic Ferrimagnets Probed by Sagnac Magneto-Optics and Harmonic Hall Measurements

Akilan K, Koral Aykin, Jose-Luis Ampuero +6

Spin-orbit torque (SOT) provides an efficient route for manipulating magnetization in spintronic devices, and its accurate quantification is essential. Here, we investigate Co/Gd-b…

Symmetry Breaking by Interfacial Dead Layers: Observation of Forbidden Self-Induced Spin-Orbit Torque in Symmetric Ferromagnets

Athira Ravindran K, Raghvendra Posti, Manish Kumar Mohanta +8

Conventionally, spin-orbit torques (SOTs) in ferromagnets require heavy-metal layers or engineered structural asymmetry to break inversion symmetry. In this work, we report the obs…

Spin-polarization of the electric current in half-metallic CoMnSi Heusler thin films

José Solano Córdova, Anna Maria Friedel, Quentin Rossi +6

Using propagating spin wave spectroscopy we measure the spin wave Doppler shift in patterned MgO/CoMnSi/MgO thin films and determine the degree of spin-polarization of the elec…

Unconventional views on orbitronics supported by experimental results

Melissa Yactayo, A. Pezo, J. L. Ampuero +9

Emerging orbitronics assumes long-range orbital current transport, analogous to spin currents. However, recent theory and experiments challenge this view, showing rather local char…
