Symmetry lowering at an interface leads to an enhancement of the effect of spin-orbit coupling and to a discontinuity of spin currents passing through the interface. This discontinuity is characterized by a "spin-memory loss" (SML)…

The role played by interfaces in metallic multilayers is not only to change the momenta of incident electrons; their symmetry lowering also results in an enhancement of the effects of spin-orbit coupling, in particular the flipping of the…
When a flow of electron passes through a paramagnetic layer with strong spin-orbit-coupling such as platinum (Pt), a net spin current is produced via spin Hall effect (SHE). This spin current can exert a torque on the magnetization of an…
