Spin orbit torque with topological insulator and ferro/anti-ferromagnetic heterostructures — •sumit ghosh1,2 and aurelien manchon2 — 1PGI-1 and IAS-1, Forschungszentrum, Jülich 52425, Germany — 2PSE, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Thuwal 23955, Saudi Arabia
Due to the robust spin-orbit coupling emerging at the surfaces, topological insulators like Bi2Se3 have become a strong source of spin-orbit torque [1,2]. However in the vicinity of a magnetic element the topological protection and hence the interfacial spin-orbit coupling change drastically. In this presentation, we are going to see some of the interesting phenomena arising at the interface of a topological insulator and ferro/antiferromagnet heterostructure [3,4]. Using a simplified tight binding model we are going to show how the interfacial spin texture is modified in the presence of a magnetic element and its impact on the non-equilibrium spin density within the linear response framework. We show how the non-equilibrium spin density changes while moving from surface dominated regime to bulk dominated regime. We also explain the origin of the large spin-Hall angle for the topological insulator ferromagnet heterostructure. Finally, we show their robustness against the scalar impurity to demonstrate their superiority against their heavy metal counterpart.
