Competing effect of spin-orbit torque terms on perpendicular magnetization switching in structures with multiple inversion asymmetries

Current-induced spin-orbit torques (SOTs) in structurally asymmetric multilayers have been used to efficiently manipulate magnetization. In a structure with vertical symmetry breaking, a damping-like SOT can deterministically switch a perpendicular magnet, provided an in-plane magnetic field is appl...
