Electrical control of magnetization is of crucial importance for integrated spintronics devices. Spin-orbit torques (SOT) in heavy-metal/ferromagnetic heterostructures have emerged as promising tool to achieve efficiently current-induced…
Spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR) is a common method used to measure spin-orbit torques (SOTs) in heavy metal/ferromagnet bilayer structures. In the course of a measurement, other resonant processes such as spin pumping (SP) and…
Measurements of spin-orbit torques in a ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic multilayer are typically based on an assumption that the entire ferromagnetic layer uniformly responds to the spin-orbit torque. This assumption breaks down when the…
We formulate a theory of the AC spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) in a bilayer system consisting of a magnetic insulator such as yttrium iron garnet (YIG) and a heavy metal such as platinum (Pt). We derive expressions for the DC voltage…
Finding efficient ways of manipulating magnetic bits is one of the core goals in spintronic research. Electrically-generated spin-orbit torques (SOTs) are good candidates for this and the search for materials capable of generating…
We present the Co-Gd composition dependence of the spin-Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) and anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) for ferrimagnetic Co100-xGdx / Pt bilayers. With Gd concentration x, its magnetic moment increasingly competes with…
We calculate the magnetization torque due to the spin polarization of the itinerant electrons by deriving the kinetic spin Bloch equations based on the $s$-$d$ model. We find that the first-order gradient of the magnetization inhomogeneity…
The combination of spin-orbit coupling driven effects and multiferroic tunneling properties was explored experimentally in thin Pt/Co/BTO/LSMO multilayers. The presence of a Pt heavy metal allows for the spin current-induced magnetization…
Theoretical investigations of spin transfer torque in magnetic tunnel junctions using the tight-binding model in the framework of non-equilibrium Green functions formalism are presented. We show that the behavior of the spin transfer torque…

Spin currents in ferromagnets afford diverse functionalities. We evaluate the extrinsic spin Hall effects of magnetic impurity scattering in ferromagnetic metals. We show that spin-dependent scattering can provide a high spin current…
Charge-spin conversion phenomena such as the spin Hall effect allow for the excitation of magnons in a magnetic layer by passing an electric current in an adjacent nonmagnetic conductor. We demonstrate that this current-induced modification…
We report an unusual, non-monotonous dependence of the exchange bias on the thickness of the ferromagnetic layer in a ferromagnet/antiferromagnet bilayer system. We show that in epitaxial CoO/Fe(110) bilayers, the evolution of the Fe…

We address two finite size effects in perpendicular transport through magnetic multilayers. When the magnetic layer thickness in spin valves becomes of the order or smaller than the spin-flip diffusion length, structural asymmetries affect…
An electric current in the presence of spin-orbit coupling can generate a spin accumulation that exerts torques on a nearby magnetization. We demonstrate that, even in the absence of materials with strong bulk spin-orbit coupling, a torque…
