Giant spin-orbit torque and spin current generation in carriers at oxide interfaces

Interfacing polar insulating oxides may result in the formation of interface-confined, high density carriers with a number of emergent properties. A local coupling of carriers to a helimagnetic oxide layer is shown to lead to an effective spin-orbit interaction with a band splitting determined by th...
