Thickness-Dependent Spintronic Terahertz Emission in MBE-Grown PtTe: From Semiconductor to Type-II Dirac Semimetal

Rahul Sharma, Sylvain Massabeau, Armando Pezo +13

Spintronic terahertz (THz) emitters have established themselves as among the most practical broadband THz sources available, yet their performance remains fundamentally limited by…

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…

Orbital torque and efficient magnetization switching using ultrathin Co|Al light-metal interfaces: Experiments and modeling

N. Sebe, A. Pezo, S. Krishnia +5

The emergence of the orbital degree of freedom in modern orbitronics offers a promising alternative to heavy metals for the efficient control of magnetization. In this context, ide…

Anatomy of torques from orbital Rashba textures: the case of Co/Al interfaces

A. Pezo, N. Sebe, A. Manchon +2

In the context of orbitronics, the rising of the orbital angular momentum generated at light metal interfaces from orbital textures via orbital Rashba-Edelstein effects nowadays re…

Spin and Orbital Rashba effects at the Ni/HfO interface

Armando Pezo, Andrés Saul, Aurélien Manchon +1

We predict the giant ferroelectric control of interfacial properties of Ni/HfO2, namely, (i) the magnetocrystalline anisotropy and (ii) the inverse spin and orbital Rashba effects.…
