Enhanced spin–orbit torque via interface engineering in Pt/CoFeB/MgO heterostructures

Spin–orbit torque facilitates efficient magnetisation switching via an in-plane current in perpendicularly magnetised heavy-metal/ferromagnet heterostructures. The efficiency of spin–orbit-torque-induced switching is determined by the charge-to-spin conversion arising from either bulk or interfacial...
