The orbital Hall effect (OHE) designates the generation of a charge-neutral flow angular momentum transverse to an initial charge current. Recent theoretical investigations suggest that transition metals display sizable OHE, encouraging experimental search along this direction. Nonetheless, most these theories assume moment originates from region immediately surrounding atom core, adopting so-called {\it atomic center approximation}. In periodic crystals though, contribution interstitial...
The generation of large spin currents, and the associated torques, which are at heart modern spintronics, has long been achieved by charge-to-spin conversion mechanisms, i.e., Hall effect and/or Rashba–Edelstein effect, intrinsically linked to strong spin–orbit coupling. Recently, a novel path predicted observed for achieving significant current-induced torques originating from light elements, hence possessing weak interaction. These findings point out potential involvement orbital...
We propose a general theory of charge, spin, and orbital diffusion based on Keldysh formalism. Our findings indicate that the diffusivity angular momentum in metals is much lower than spin or charge due to strong intermixing crystals. Furthermore, our introduces concept "spin-orbit polarization" by which pure (spin) current induces longitudinal (orbital) current, process as efficient polarization ferromagnets. Finally, we find currents undergo swapping, even absence spin-orbit coupling. This...

Spin-orbit torques in noncentrosymmetric polycrystalline magnetic heterostructures are usually described terms of field-like and damping-like torques. However, materials with a lower symmetry point group can exhibit whose behavior substantially deviates from the conventional ones. In particular, based on arguments it was recently proposed that systems belonging to ${\text{C}}_{3\mathrm{v}}$ display spin-orbit promote field-free switching [Liu et al., Nat. Nanotechnol. 16, 277 (2021)]....

The Hall effect has played a vital role in unraveling the intricate properties of electron transport solid materials. Here, we report on crystal symmetry-dependent in-plane (CIHE) observed CuPt/CoPt ferromagnetic heterostructure. Unlike planar (PHE), CIHE strongly depends current flowing direction (ϕI) with respect to structure. It reaches its maximum when is applied along low crystal-symmetry axes and vanishes high axes, exhibiting an unconventional angular dependence cos(3ϕI). Utilizing...
Spin and charge pumping induced by a precessing magnetization has been instrumental to the development of spintronics.
