Charge-to-spin conversion in epitaxial and polycrystalline Bi and Bi/Ag layers
Federica Nasr, Emir Karadža, Santos F. Alvarado +9
Bi is predicted to be an efficient generator of spin-orbit torques (SOTs), with charge-to-spin conversion efficiency comparable to those of prototypical heavy metals, such as Ta, W…

Polarizing ultrathin ferroelectric BaTiO3 films through interfacial layer polarization
Ipek Efe, Edith Simmen, Tobias Goldenberger +3
An important requirement for the integration of ferroelectric thin films into devices is deterministic control of the polarization state in films of only a few unit cells in thickn…

Generating unconventional spin-orbit torques with patterned phase gradients in tungsten thin films
Lauren J. Riddiford, Anne Flechsig, Shilei Ding +7
A key aim in spintronics is to achieve current-induced magnetization switching via spin-orbit torques without external magnetic fields. For this, the focus of recent work has been…
