Current-induced torques originating from earth-abundant 3d elements offer a promising avenue for low-cost and sustainable spintronic memory logic applications. Recently, orbital currents─transverse angular momentum flow in response to an electric field─have been the spotlight since they allow current-induced torque generation transition metals. Here, we report comprehensive study of spin Cu-based magnetic heterostructures. We show that high efficiencies can be achieved engineered Ni80Fe20/Cu...
We report the structural, magnetic, and interfacial spin transport properties of epitaxial terbium iron garnet (TbIG) ultrathin films deposited by magnetron sputtering. High crystallinity was achieved growing on gadolinium gallium substrates either at high temperatures, or room temperature followed thermal annealing, above 750 °C in both cases.

Very sensitive responses to external forces are found near phase transitions. However, transition dynamics and preequilibrium phenomena difficult detect control. We have observed that the equilibrium domain structure following a in ferroelectric ferroelastic BaTiO3 is attained by halving of periodicity multiple times. The process reversible, with doubling as temperature increased. This observation reminiscent period-doubling cascades generally during bifurcation phenomena, and, thus, it...
