Spin-Torque Ferromagnetic Resonance Induced by the Spin Hall Effect
TLDR
In this article, the spin Hall effect in a thin film with strong spin-orbit scattering can excite magnetic precession in an adjacent ferromagnetic film, and the ratio of these two signals allows a quantitative determination of the spin current and spin Hall angle.Abstract:
We demonstrate that the spin Hall effect in a thin film with strong spin-orbit scattering can excite magnetic precession in an adjacent ferromagnetic film. The flow of alternating current through a Pt/NiFe bilayer generates an oscillating transverse spin current in the Pt, and the resultant transfer of spin angular momentum to the NiFe induces ferromagnetic resonance dynamics. The Oersted field from the current also generates a ferromagnetic resonance signal but with a different symmetry. The ratio of these two signals allows a quantitative determination of the spin current and the spin Hall angle.read more

Spin-torque switching with the giant spin hall effect of tantalum
TL;DR: In this paper, a giant spin Hall effect (SHE) in β-tantalum was shown to generate spin currents intense enough to induce spin-torque switching of ferromagnets at room temperature.

Spin Hall effects
TL;DR: In solid-state materials with strong relativistic spin-orbit coupling, charge currents generate transverse spin currents as discussed by the authors and the associated spin Hall and inverse spin Hall effects distinguish between charge and spin current where electron charge is a conserved quantity but its spin direction is not.

New perspectives for Rashba spin–orbit coupling
TL;DR: Bychkov and Rashba as discussed by the authors introduced a simple form of spin-orbit coupling to explain the peculiarities of electron spin resonance in two-dimensional semiconductors, which has inspired a vast number of predictions, discoveries and innovative concepts far beyond semiconductor devices.
