All-electric switching of perpendicular magnetization is a prerequisite for the integration fast, high-density, and low-power magnetic memories logic devices into electric circuits. To date, field-free spin-orbit torque (SOT) has been observed in SOT bilayer trilayer systems through various asymmetric designs, which mainly aim to break mirror symmetry.
