Spin–orbit torque generated by spin–orbit precession effect in Py/Pt/Co tri-layer structure

In this report, current-induced spin–orbit torques (SOTs) in a permalloy (Py)/Pt/Co tri-layer system are investigated. In addition to the conventional SOTs generated from the spin Hall effect in the Pt layer, we observed a distinct existence of unconventional SOT acting on the in-plane magnetized Py...
