Detection of long-range orbital-Hall torques

Abstract

We report and quantify a large orbital-Hall torque generated by Nb and Ru, which we identify from a strong dependence of torques on the ferromagnets. This is manifested as a sign reversal and strong enhancement in the damping-like torques measured in Nb (or Ru)/Ni bilayers as compared to Nb (or Ru)/FeCoB bilayers. The long-range nature of orbital transport in the ferromagnet is revealed by the thickness dependences of Ni in Nb (or Ru)/Ni bilayers which are markedly different from the regular spin absorption in the ferromagnet that takes place within a few angstroms and thus it uniquely distinguishes the orbital Hall torque from the spin Hall torque.
