Topological insulators (TI) represent a new quantum state of matter, which host spin-polarized conducting surface channels paired with an insulating bulk. Due to the strong intrinsic spin-orbit coupling, TIs are promising candidates for spin-orbit torque measurements. Furthermore many ternary Heusler compounds are predicted to have topological nontrivial properties. Therefore we investigate spin-orbit torque effects of different TI Heusler / ferromagnetic hybrid structures like e.g. YPdBi/Fe by performing harmonic resistance measurements in a rotating magnetic field up to 1T at a temperature range from 2K to 300K.
