Current induced spin-orbit magnetic fields (iSOFs), arising either in single-crystalline ferromagnets with broken inversion symmetry1,2 or in non-magnetic metal/ferromagnetic metal bilayers3,4, can produce spin-orbit torques which act on a ferromagnets magnetization,thus offering an efficient way for its manipulation.To further reduce power consumption in spin-orbit torque devices, it is highly desirable to control iSOFs by the field-effect, where power consumption is determined by charging/discharging a capacitor5,6. In particular, efficient electric-field control of iSOFs acting on ferromagnetic metals is of vital importance for practical applications. It is known that in single crystalline Fe/GaAs (001) heterostructures with C2v symmetry, interfacial SOFs emerge at the Fe/GaAs (001) interface due to the lack of inversion symmetry7,8. Here, we show that by applying a gate-voltage across the Fe/GaAs interface, interfacial SOFs acting on Fe can be robustly modulated via the change of the magnitude of the interfacial spin-orbit interaction. Our results show that, for the first time, the electric-field in a Schottky barrier is capable of modifying SOFs, which can be exploited for the development of low-power-consumption spin-orbit torque devices.

The spin-orbit coupling (SOC) can mediate electric-dipole spin resonance (EDSR) in an a.c. electric field. In this letter, the EDSR is essentially understood as an spin precession under an effective a.c. magnetic field induced by the SOC in the refer
ence frame, which is exactly following the classical trajectory of the electron and obtained by applying a quantum linear coordinate transformation. With this observation for one-dimensional (1D) case, we find a upper limit for the spin-flipping speed in the EDSR-based control of spin, which is given by the accessible data from the current experiment. For two-dimensional case, the azimuthal dependence of the effective magnetic field can be used to measure the ratio of the Rashba and Dresselhause SOC strengths.
The ability to perform nanoscale electric field imaging of elementary charges at ambient temperatures will have diverse interdisciplinary applications. While the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond is capable of high-sensitivity electrometry, dem
onstrations have so far been limited to macroscopic field features or detection of single charges internal to diamond itself. In this work we greatly extend these capabilities by using a shallow NV center to image the electric field of a charged atomic force microscope tip with nanoscale resolution. This is achieved by measuring Stark shifts in the NV spin-resonance due to AC electric fields. To achieve this feat we employ for the first time, the integration of Qdyne with scanning quantum microscopy. We demonstrate near single charge sensitivity of $eta_e = 5.3$ charges/$sqrt{text{Hz}}$, and sub-charge detection ($0.68e$). This proof-of-concept experiment provides the motivation for further sensing and imaging of electric fields using NV centers in diamond.
We investigate the possibility of band structure engineering in the recently predicted 2D layered form of blue phosphorus via an electric field (E$_z$) applied perpendicular to the layer(s). Using density functional theory, we study the effect of a t
ransverse electric field in monolayer, as well as three differently stacked bilayer structures of blue phosphorus. We find that, for E$_z > 0.2$ V/AA the direct energy gap at the $Gamma$ point, which is much larger than the default indirect band gap of mono- and bilayer blue phosphorus, decreases linearly with the increasing electric field; becomes comparable to the default indirect band gap at E$_z approx 0.45 (0.35)$ V/AA for monolayer (bilayers) and decreases further until the semiconductor to metal transition of 2D blue phosphorus takes place at E$_zapprox 0.7 (0.5)$ V/AA for monolayer (bilayers). Calculated values of the electron and hole effective masses along various high symmetry directions in the reciprocal lattice suggests that the mobility of charge carriers is also influenced by the applied electric field.
Spin-orbit torques offer a promising mechanism for electrically controlling magnetization dynamics in nanoscale heterostructures. While spin-orbit torques occur predominately at interfaces, the physical mechanisms underlying these torques can origina
te in both the bulk layers and at interfaces. Classifying spin-orbit torques based on the region that they originate in provides clues as to how to optimize the effect. While most bulk spin-orbit torque contributions are well studied, many of the interfacial contributions allowed by symmetry have yet to be fully explored theoretically and experimentally. To facilitate progress, we review interfacial spin-orbit torques from a semiclassical viewpoint and relate these contributions to recent experimental results. Within the same model, we show the relationship between different interface transport parameters. For charges and spins flowing perpendicular to the interface, interfacial spin-orbit coupling both modifies the mixing conductance of magnetoelectronic circuit theory and gives rise to spin memory loss. For in-plane electric fields, interfacial spin-orbit coupling gives rise to torques described by spin-orbit filtering, spin swapping and precession. In addition, these same interfacial processes generate spin currents that flow into the non-magnetic layer. For in-plane electric fields in trilayer structures, the spin currents generated at the interface between one ferromagnetic layer and the non-magnetic spacer layer can propagate through the non-magnetic layer to produce novel torques on the other ferromagnetic layer.
We present measurements of spin orbit torques generated by Ir as a function of film thickness in sputtered Ir/CoFeB and Ir/Co samples. We find that Ir provides a damping-like component of spin orbit torque with a maximum spin torque conductivity 1.4e
5 in SI unit and a maximum spin-torque efficiency of 0.04, which is sufficient to drive switching in an 0.8 nm film of CoFeB with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. We also observe a surprisingly large field like spin orbit torque. Measurements as a function of Ir thickness indicate a substantial contribution to the FLT from an interface mechanism so that in the ultrathin limit there is a non-zero FLT with a maximum torque conductivity -5.0E4 in the SI unit. When the Ir film thickness becomes comparable to or greater than its spin diffusion length, 1.6 nm, there is also a smaller bulk contribution to the fieldlike torque.
