Through the anomalous Hall effect (AHE), a ferromagnet can generate spin current in direction transverse to an applied charge current, and hence exert torque on another ferromagnet. The authors observe, however, that when in-plane is passed through spin-valve structure, out-of-plane effective magnetic field created, which exerts free layer. This field, originating from broken mirror symmetry of valve, completely dominates dampinglike one expects AHE. Such strong would be useful for switching...

Multiferroic systems consisting of a piezoelectric substrate coupled with ferromagnets provide potential...
As spintronics continues to replace conventional electronics, devices that produce oscillatory signals are needed in particular. They usually based on spin-transfer torque, but this study offers an alternative, feedback of spin current into a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). A combination thermal fluctuations, magnetoresistance, and the Hall effect can induce periodic precessional states MTJ's free layer, significantly reducing critical for oscillations improving their quality factor.
