Spin-orbit torques originating from the bulk and interface in Pt-based structures

We investigate spin-orbit torques in prototypical Pt-based spintronic devices. We find that, in Pt/Ni and Pt/Fe bilayers, the dampinglike torque efficiency depends on the thickness of the Pt layer. We also find that the dampinglike torque efficiency is almost identical in the Pt/Ni and Pt/Fe bilayer...
