  2. 1. First-principles theory of electrically-induced spin and orbital magnetization

    Author : Leandro Salemi; Peter M. Oppeneer; Yuriy Mokrousov; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Spin-orbit torque; spin Hall effect; Rashba-Edelstein effect; spin Nernst effect; relativistic DFT; spin-orbitronics;

    Abstract : Spin-orbit torques (SOTs) have emerged recently as practical tools to control the magnetization in spintronic devices, but it is debated what the underlying fundamental processes are that enable fast and energy-efficient magnetization switching.In this thesis, we investigate theoretically possible means of controlling magnetization in magnetic materials and heterostructures.
