Spin-orbit-torque-driven dynamics have recently gained interest in the field of magnetism due to the reduced requirement of current densities and an increase in efficiency, as well as the ease of implementation of different devices and materials. From a practical point of view, the low-frequency dynamics below 1 GHz is particularly interesting since dynamics associated with magnetic domains lie in this frequency range. While spin-torque excitation of high-frequency modes has been extensively studied, the intermediate low-frequency dynamics have received less attention, although spin torques could potentially be used for both manipulation of the spin texture, as well as the excitation of dynamics. In this work, we demonstrate that it is possible to drive magnetic vortex dynamics in a single microdisk by spin-Hall torque at varying temperatures, and relate the results to transport properties. We find that the gyrotropic mode of the core couples to the low-frequency microwave signal and produces a measurable voltage. The dynamic measurements are in agreement with magnetic transport measurements and are supported by micromagnetic simulations. Our results open the door for integrating magnetic vortex devices in spintronic applications.

We introduce a new class of spintronics devices in which a spin-valve like effect results from strong spin-orbit coupling in a single ferromagnetic layer rather than from injection and detection of a spin-polarized current by two coupled ferromagnets
. The effect is observed in a normal-metal/insulator/ferromagnetic-semiconductor tunneling device. This behavior is caused by the interplay of the anisotropic density of states in (Ga,Mn)As with respect to the magnetization direction, and the two-step magnetization reversal process in this material.
Performance of magnetoresistive sensors is today mainly limited by their 1/f low-frequency noise. Here, we study this noise component in vortex-based TMR sensors. We compare the noise level in different magnetization configurations of the device, i.e
vortex state or uniform parallel or antiparallel states. We find that the vortex state is at least an order of magnitude noisier than the uniform states. Nevertheless, by activating the spin-transfer induced dynamics of the vortex configuration, we observe a reduction of the 1/f noise, close to the values measured in the AP state, as the vortex core has a lower probability of pinning into defect sites. Additionally, by driving the dynamics of the vortex core by a non-resonant rf field or current we demonstrate that the 1/f noise can be further decreased. The ability to reduce the 1/f low-frequency noise in vortex-based devices by leveraging their spin-transfer dynamics thus enhances their applicability in the magnetic sensors landscape.
Spin-dependent transport phenomena due to relativistic spin-orbit coupling and broken space-inversion symmetry are often difficult to interpret microscopically, in particular when occurring at surfaces or interfaces. Here we present a theoretical and
experimental study of spin-orbit torque and unidirectional magnetoresistance in a model room-temperature ferromagnet NiMnSb with inversion asymmetry in the bulk of this half-heusler crystal. Besides the angular dependence on magnetization, the competition of Rashba and Dresselhaus-like spin-orbit couplings results in the dependence of these effects on the crystal direction of the applied electric field. The phenomenology that we observe highlights potential inapplicability of commonly considered approaches for interpreting experiments. We point out that, in general, there is no direct link between the current-induced non-equilibrium spin polarization inferred from the measured spin-orbit torque and the unidirectional magnetiresistance. We also emphasize that the unidirectional magnetoresistance has not only longitudinal but also transverse components in the electric field -- current indices which complicates its separation from the thermoelectric contributions to the detected signals in common experimental techniques. We use the theoretical results to analyze our measurements of the on-resonance and off-resonance mixing signals in microbar devices fabricated from an epitaxial NiMnSb film along different crystal directions. Based on the analysis we extract an experimental estimate of the unidirectional magnetoresistance in NiMnSb.
We investigate spin-charge conversion phenomena in hybrid structures of topological insulator (TI) thin films and magnetic insulators. We find an anisotropic inverse spin-galvanic effect (ISGE) that yields a highly tunable spin-orbit torque (SOT). Co
ncentrating on the quasiballistic limit, we also predict a giant anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) at low dopings. These effects, which have no counterparts in thick TIs, depend on the simultaneous presence of the hybridization between the surface states and the in-plane magnetization. Both the ISGE and AMR exhibit a strong dependence on the magnetization and the Fermi level position and can be utilized for spintronics and SOT-based applications at the nanoscale.
Spin torques are at the heart of spin manipulations in spintronic devices. Here, we examine the existence of an optical spin-orbit torque, a relativistic spin torque originating from the spin-orbit coupling of an oscillating applied field with the sp
ins. We compare the effect of the nonrelativistic Zeeman torque with the relativistic optical spin-orbit torque for ferromagnetic systems excited by a circularly polarised laser pulse. The latter torque depends on the helicity of the light and scales with the intensity, while being inversely proportional to the frequency. Our results show that the optical spin-orbit torque can provide a torque on the spins, which is quantitatively equivalent to the Zeeman torque. Moreover, temperature dependent calculations show that the effect of optical spin-orbit torque decreases with increasing temperature. However, the effect does not vanish in a ferromagnetic system, even above its Curie temperature.
