Impact of inherent energy barrier on spin-orbit torques in magnetic-metal/semimetal heterojunctions
Abstract Spintronic devices are based on heterojunctions of two materials with different magnetic and electronic properties. Although an energy barrier is naturally formed even at the interface of metallic heterojunctions, its impact on spin transport has been overlooked. Here, using diffusive spin...
