Giant antidamping orbital torque originating from the orbital Rashba-Edelstein effect in ferromagnetic heterostructures
The emerging spintronics applications are hampered by low current-induced torque efficiency in, for example, inversion-symmetry-breaking ferromagnetic heterostructures. Here the authors demonstrate an orbital Rashba-Edelstein effect which can enhance the torque efficiency in Pt/Co/SiO2/Pt films due...
