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…
