Deskripsi

Interfacial spin-orbit torque allows electrical manipulation of magnetization, but this has been shown mostly in polycrystalline metal bilayers. Here the authors show robust spin-orbit torque in single crystalline Fe/GaAs interface at room temperature, observing conversion between spin and charge current.
