Observation of the Orbital Rashba-Edelstein Magnetoresistance

Shilei Ding et al.

Summary: We report the observation of the orbital Rashba-Edelstein magnetoresistance in a Py/Cu* heterostructure, where the magnetoresistance depends on the relative angle between the induced orbital angular momentum and the magnetization. Despite the absence of heavy elements, a sizable magnetoresistance ratio was found, suggesting the presence of another mechanism in Py/Cu* structures beyond the conventional spin Hall magnetoresistance.

Giant orbital Hall effect and orbital-to-spin conversion in 3d, 5d, and 4f metallic heterostructures

Giacomo Sala et al.

Summary: The research provides a systematic study on the generation, transmission, and conversion of orbital currents in heterostructures comprising 3d, 5d, and 4f metals. The results show that Cr has a giant orbital Hall conductivity of the order of 5 x 10(5)[(h) over bar /2e] Omega(-1) m(-1), and Pt exhibits a strong orbital Hall effect in addition to the spin Hall effect. The introduction of 4f spacers can significantly modulate the interplay between orbital and spin currents.

Efficient orbital torque in polycrystalline ferromagnetic-metal/Ru/Al2O3 stacks: Theory and experiment

Liyang Liao et al.

Summary: A strong torque effect was observed in CoFeB/Ru/Al2O3 polycrystalline stacks, where the unfilled d-shell and small spin-orbit coupling in Ru provide an ideal platform for orbital generation and transport. Orbit transport in polycrystalline materials exhibits a unique random precession behavior, which leads to higher efficiency compared to single crystals.

Orbital torque in magnetic bilayers

Dongjoon Lee et al.

Summary: The orbital Hall effect describes the generation of the orbital current flowing in a perpendicular direction to an external electric field, analogous to the spin Hall effect. Through theory and experiment, the presence of the orbital Hall effect in heavy metals and its potential application in spintronic device technology have been confirmed and explored. This finding contributes to the understanding of spin-orbit-coupled phenomena and orbital engineering in material science.

Efficient conversion of orbital Hall current to spin current for spin-orbit torque switching

Soogil Lee et al.

Summary: The Spin Hall effect enables efficient control of magnetization, while the recent discovery of the orbital Hall effect reveals the potential for larger orbital current generation. However, a conversion process from orbital current to spin current is necessary to exert torque on a ferromagnet. By introducing rare-earth ferromagnet Gd or a Pt interfacial layer with strong spin-orbit coupling in Cr/ferromagnet structures, the orbital Hall torque can be greatly enhanced, allowing for more efficient magnetization control in spin-orbit-torque-based spintronic devices.

Spin orbit torques in Pt-based heterostructures with van der Waals interface*

Qian Chen et al.

Summary: By inserting a monolayer MoTe2 with low crystal symmetry into Pt/Ni heterostructures, the spin orbit efficiency, out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy, and Gilbert damping of Ni have been enhanced due to orbital hybridization and increased spin scattering at the interface. Additionally, an out-of-plane damping-like torque is observed when the current is applied perpendicular to the mirror plane of the MoTe2 crystal, attributed to interfacial inversion symmetry breaking. This work offers a route for engineering SOT in Pt-based heterostructures and potential opportunities for van der Waals interfaces in spintronic devices.

Orbital Rashba effect in a surface-oxidized Cu film

Dongwook Go et al.

Summary: Experimental observations have shown a significant enhancement of the orbital Rashba effect in a system of oxygen monolayer on top of a Cu film, leading to a strong chiral orbital texture in momentum space; Resonant hybridization between O p states and Cu d states is responsible for the emergence of the orbital Rashba effect at the interface; The application of an external electric field generates colossal orbital Hall currents, indicating a potentially significant role of the orbital torque mechanism in surface oxidized Cu/ferromagnet structures.
