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…
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…
Quantitative analysis of vectorial torques in thin 3d Co ferromagnet using orbital-spin conversion
B. Bony, S. Krishnia, Y. Xu +6
Recent findings in orbitronics pointed out large current-induced torques originating, in the current understanding, from incident orbital currents. These are generated by orbital R…
Multi-functional Wafer-Scale Van der Waals Heterostructures and Polymorphs
M. Micica, A. Wright, S. Massabeau +19
Van der Waals heterostructures have promised the realisation of artificial materials with multiple physical phenomena such as giant optical nonlinearities, spin-to-charge interconv…
Theory of spin and orbital charge conversion at the surface states of Bi_{1-x}Sb_x topological insulator
Armando Pezo, Jean-Marie George, Henri Jaffrès
Topological insulators are quantum materials involving Time-reversal protected surface states(TSS) making them appealing candidates for the design of next generation of highly effi…
