Giant antidamping orbital torque originating from the orbital Rashba-Edelstein effect in ferromagnetic heterostructures
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Enhancing the in-plane current-induced torque efficiency in inversion-symmetry-breaking ferromagnetic heterostructures is of both fundamental and practical interests for emerging magnetic memory device applications. Here, we present an interface-originated magnetoelectric effect, the orbital Rashba–Edelstein effect, for realizing large torque efficiency in Pt/Co/SiO 2 /Pt films with strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). The key element is a pronounced Co 3 d orbital splitting due to asymmetric orbital hybridization at the Pt/Co and Co/SiO 2 interfaces, which not only stabilizes the PMA but also produces a large orbital torque upon the Co magnetization with current injection. The torque efficiency is found to be strongly magnetization direction- and temperature-dependent, and can reach up to 2.83 at room temperature, which is several times to one order of magnitude larger than those previously reported. This work highlights the active role of the orbital anisotropy for efficient torque generation and indicates a route for torque efficiency optimization through orbital engineering.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
