Anisotropic spin-orbit torque generation in epitaxial SrIrO3 by symmetry design
T. Nan, T. J. Anderson, J. Gibbons +13
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC), the interaction between the electron spin and the orbital angular momentum, can unlock rich phenomena at interfaces, in particular interconverting spin a…

Interfacial spin-orbit torque without bulk spin-orbit coupling
Satoru Emori, Tianxiang Nan, Amine M. Belkessam +6
An electric current in the presence of spin-orbit coupling can generate a spin accumulation that exerts torques on a nearby magnetization. We demonstrate that, even in the absence…
