Field-free magnetization switching induced by the unconventional spin–orbit torque from WTe2

Spin–orbit torque provides a highly efficient way to achieve current-induced magnetization switching, which relies on charge-to-spin conversion of the spin source layer. However, in the conventional heavy metal/ferromagnetic layer, the generated spin–orbit torque is limited to in-plane, which cannot...
