We compute spin-orbit torques (SOTs) in strained PtMnSb from first principles. We consider both tetragonal strain and shear strain. We find a strong linear dependence of the field-like SOTs on these strains, while the antidamping SOT is only moderately sensitive to shear strain and even insensitive to tetragonal strain. We also study the dependence of the SOT on the magnetization direction. In order to obtain analytical expressions suitable for fitting our numerical textit{ab-initio} results we derive a general expansion of the SOT in terms of all response tensors that are allowed by crystal symmetry. Our expansion includes also higher-order terms beyond the usually considered lowest order. We find that the dependence on the strain is much smaller for the higher-order terms than for the lowest order terms. In order to judge the sensitivity of the SOT on the exchange correlation potential we compute the SOT in both GGA and LDA. We find that the higher-order terms depend significantly on the exchange-correlation potential, while the lowest order terms are insensitive to it. Since the higher-order terms are small in comparison to the lowest order terms the total SOT is insensitive to the exchange correlation potential in strained PtMnSb.
The electronic band structure of graphene in the presence of spin-orbit coupling and transverse electric field is investigated from first principles using the linearized augmented plane-wave method. The spin-orbit coupling opens a gap at the $K(K)$-p
We review a unified approach for computing: (i) spin-transfer torque in magnetic trilayers like spin-valves and magnetic tunnel junction, where injected charge current flows perpendicularly to interfaces; and (ii) spin-orbit torque in magnetic bilaye
Current induced spin-orbit torques have been studied in ferromagnetic nanowires made of 20 nm thick Co/Pd multilayers with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Using Hall voltage and lock-in measurements, it is found that upon injection of an electric
Diffusion Monte Carlo is one of the most accurate scalable many-body methods for solid state systems. However, to date, spin-orbit interactions have not been incorporated into these calcualtions at a first-principles level; only having been applied t
The spin currents generated by spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in the nonmagnetic metal layer or at the interface with broken inversion symmetry are of particular interest and importance. Here, we have explored the spin current generation mechanisms throug
