Observation of Spin Splitting Torque in a Collinear Antiferromagnet RuO 2

Observation of Spin Splitting Torque in a Collinear Antiferromagnet RuO 2 Current-induced spin torques provide efficient data writing approaches for magnetic memories. Recently, the spin splitting torque (SST) was theoretically predicted, which combines advantages of conventional spin transfer torque (STT) and spin-orbit torque (SOT) as well as enables controllable spin polarization. Here we provide the experimental evidence of SST in collinear antiferromagnet RuO_{2} films. The spin current di...
