In systems with small spin-orbit coupling, current-induced torques on the magnetization require inhomogeneous magnetization textures. For large spin-orbit coupling, such torques exist even without gradients in the magnetization direction.…

In a ferromagnetic metal layer, the coupled charge and spin diffusion equations are obtained in the presence of both Rashba spin-orbit interaction and magnetism. The mis-alignment between the magnetization and the non-equilibrium spin…

We provide a general procedure to calculate the current-induced spin-transfer torque which acts on a general steep magnetic texture due to the exchange interaction with an applied spin-polarized current. As an example, we consider a…

Current-driven magnetization dynamics of single ferromagnets in heavy metal/ferromagnet bilayers has been recently realized. In this work, spin torque induced by so-called Rashba spin-orbit coupling and spin Hall effect are considered…

Magnetization dynamics in single-domain ferromagnets can be triggered by charge current if spin-orbit coupling is sufficiently strong. We apply functional Keldysh theory to investigate Rashba spin-orbit torques in metallic two-dimensional…

In a ferromagnetic heterostructure, the interplay between a Rashba spin-orbit coupling and an exchange field gives rise to a current-driven spin torque. In a realistic device setup, we investigate the Rashba spin torque in the diffusive…

Magnetization dynamics in a ferromagnet can induce a spin-dependent electric field through spin motive force. Spin current generated by the spin-dependent electric field can in turn modify the magnetization dynamics through spin-transfer…

In materials lacking inversion symmetry, the spin-orbit coupling enables the direct connection between the electron's spin and its linear momentum, a phenomenon called inverse spin galvanic effect. In magnetic materials, this effect…

A new current induced spin-torque transfer effect has been observed in a single ferromagnetic layer without resorting to multilayers. At a specific current density of one polarity injected from a point contact, abrupt resistance changes due…

In a two-dimensional ferromagnetic metal layer lacking inversion symmetry, the itinerant electrons mediate the interaction between the Rashba spin-orbit interaction and the ferromagnetic order parameter, leading to a Rashba spin torque…

Current induced magnetization switching by spin-orbit torques offers an energy-efficient means of writing information in heavy metal/ferromagnet (FM) multilayer systems. The relative contributions of field-like torques and damping-like…

Current-induced magnetization switching, a fundamental phenomenon related to spin-transport of electrons, enables non-voltaic and fast information write, facilitating applications in low-power memory and logic devices. However,…

We study the optically induced torques in thin film ferromagnetic layers under excitation by circularly polarized light. We study cases both with and without Rashba spin-orbit coupling using a 4-band model. In the absence of Rashba…

We use a perturbative approach to study the effects of interfacial spin-orbit coupling in magnetic multilayers by treating the two-dimensional Rashba model in a fully three-dimensional description of electron transport near an interface.…

We study spin torques induced by Rashba spin-orbit coupling in two-dimensional ferromagnets under the good-metal condition $\epsilon_{F}\tau/\hbar\gg1$ ($\epsilon_{F}$ the Fermi energy, $\tau$ the electron lifetime) by employing the Kubo…

We propose a magnetization reversal model to explain the perpendicular switching of a single ferromagnetic layer induced by an in-plane current. Contrary to previously proposed reversal mechanisms that such magnetic switching is directly…

According to the spin-torque model, current-driven magnetic dynamics in ferromagnetic multilayers is determined by the transfer of electron spin perpendicular to the layers' magnetizations. By separating the largest contributions to the…

We investigate the current-induced spin-orbit torque in antiferromangnetic materials in the presence of Rashba spin orbit coupling using both the linear response theory and the non-equilibrium Green's function technique implemented on a…

The electrical manipulation of magnetization by current-induced spin torques has given access to realize a plethora of ultralow power and fast spintronic devices such as non-volatile magnetic memories, spin-torque nano-oscillators, and…

Following the early theoretical descriptions of the spin-orbit-induced spin torque [S.G. Tan et al., arXiv:0705.3502 (2007); S.G.Tan et al., Ann. Phys.326, 207 (2011)], the first experimental observation of such effect was reported by L. M.…
