Determination of spin torque efficiencies in heterostructures with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy

We report that by measuring a current-induced hysteresis loop shift versus in-plane bias magnetic field, the spin-Hall effect (SHE) contribution of the current-induced effective field per current density χ[subscript SHE] can be estimated for Pt- and Ta-based magnetic heterostructures with perpendicu...
