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…

Harnessing Native Chromium Oxidation for Giant Orbital Torque and Field-Free Magnetization Switching in NiFe/Cr Bilayers
Chirag Kalouni, Abhishek Kumar, Manish Kumar Mohanta +6
Orbital currents offer charge-to-spin conversion beyond the efficiency limit of conventional heavy-metal Spin Hall sources. However, harnessing them has so far required either thic…
