Spin–torque generator engineered by natural oxidation of Cu
In thin film spintronic devices, heavy metals with strong spin-orbit coupling are required to achieve a sizeable spin Hall effect. Here, the authors demonstrate an enhancement of the spin Hall effect in Cu, a material with weak spin-orbit coupling, via natural oxidation.
