Additional information
The spin-orbit (SO) interaction was used to electrically control a magnetic moment at nano-sec speed, resulting in the excitation of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) for the first time through this research. The relativistic effect in solid states can generate spin accumulation in the carrier system when a sample with a strong SO interaction is under an electric field. The spin accumulation subsequently couples to localised spins via the exchange interaction. This causes a magnetic torque used to control a magnetic moment. This new magnetic moment control attracts enormous interests from academic and industry sectors for potential applications of future spin-based memories.
