Spin-orbit torques due to interfacial Rashba and spin Hall effects have been widely considered as a potentially more efficient approach than the conventional spin-transfer torque to control the magnetization of ferromagnets. We report a comprehensive study of spin-orbit torque efficiency in Ta(O)/Ni81Fe19 bilayers by tuning low-oxidation of b{eta}-phase tantalum, and find that the spin Hall angle {theta}DL increases from ~ -0.18 of the pure Ta/Py to the maximum value ~ -0.30 of Ta(O)/Py with 7.8% oxidation. Furthermore, we distinguish the efficiency of the spin-orbit torque generated by the bulk spin Hall effect and by interfacial Rashba effect, respectively, via a series of Py/Cu(0-2 nm)/Ta(O) control experiments. The latter has more than twofold enhancement, and even more significant than that of the former at the optimum oxidation level. Our results indicate that 65% enhancement of the efficiency should be related to the modulation of the interfacial Rashba-like spin-orbit torque due to oxygen-induced orbital hybridization cross the interface. Our results suggest that the modulation of interfacial coupling via oxygen-induced orbital hybridization can be an alternative method to boost the change-spin conversion rate.
Spin transfer torques allow for electrical manipulation of magnetization at room temperature, which is utilized to build future electronic devices such as spin transfer torque memories. Recent experiments have discovered that the combination of the s
Spin transfer torques allow the electrical manipulation of the magnetization at room temperature, which is desirable in spintronic devices such as spin transfer torque memories. When combined with spin-orbit coupling, they give rise to spin-orbit tor
The magnitude of spin-orbit torque (SOT), exerted to a ferromagnet (FM) from an adjacent heavy metal (HM), strongly depends on the amount of spin currents absorbed in the FM. We exploit the large spin absorption at the Ru interface to manipulate the
Spin Hall effect, an electric generation of spin current, allows for efficient control of magnetization. Recent theory revealed that orbital Hall effect creates orbital current, which can be much larger than spin Hall-induced spin current. However, o
Extensive efforts have been devoted to the study of spin-orbit torque in ferromagnetic metal/heavy metal bilayers and exploitation of it for magnetization switching using an in-plane current. As the spin-orbit torque is inversely proportional to the
