In this work, we show that making STO 2DEGs ferromagnetic significantly boosts the conversion efficiency of charge and spin currents through direct and inverse Edelstein effects (EE/IEE). Starting from the experimental band structure of non-magnetic SrTiO3 2DEGs, we mimic magnetic exchange coupling by introducing an out-of-plane Zeeman term in a tight-binding model. We then calculate the band structure and spin textures for increasing internal magnetic fields and compute the Edelstein effect using a semiclassical Boltzmann approach. The conversion efficiency initially rises with magnetic field strength, reaching a maximum before declining. This behavior results from the interplay between exchange coupling and the effective Rashba interaction. Our experimental focus is on the 2DEG at the SrTiO3/EuO interface to introduce ferromagnetism into the system.
