| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Spin orbit interaction in Pt/Co/AlO is widely debated throughout reported literature with causes varying between the Rashba and spin Hall effect and measured strengths varying up to 2 orders of magnitude. To resolve the inconsistency, films of varying interlayer thicknesses as well as material compositions were fabricated, measured and corresponded to the associated spin orbit interaction origin based on theory. We confirmed the control of spin orbit torque by changing the thickness of Pt and Co layers. The measurement method of the present experiment addresses the errors associated with previous methods due to heating.
