Recent demonstrations of magnetization switching driven by
current-induced spin-orbit torques (SOTs) have drawn considerable
attention in the field of spintronics. The SOTs are associated with
the spin Hall and interfacial effects, and have been found to occur in
a variety of normal-metal/ferromagnet systems.
In this talk I will present harmonic transverse (Hall) and longitudinal
(magnetoresistance) measurements on a variety of
normal-metal/ferromagnet systems with a special focus on Pt/Co, Ta/Co
layers with in-plane magnetization.
I will discuss a new magnetoresistance effect (unidirectional
spin Hall magnetoresistance) that we have recently discovered.
