Spin-orbit torque-assisted switching in magnetic insulator thin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy
As an in-plane charge current flows in a heavy metal film with spin-orbit coupling, it produces a torque on and thereby switches the magnetization in a neighbouring ferromagnetic metal film. Such spin-orbit torque (SOT)-induced switching has been studied extensively in recent years and has shown hig...
