Harnessing orbital Hall effect in spin-orbit torque MRAM - Nature Communications

There has been a recent surge in interest in using the orbital Hall effect to improve switching performance and expand the material options for spin-orbit torque driven magnetic memory. Here, Gupta et al demonstrate a significant improvement switching efficiency through integration of Ru in place of the more standard heavy metal, Pt.
