Bulk Rashba‐Type Spin Splitting in Non‐Centrosymmetric Artificial Superlattices
Spin current, converted from charge current via spin Hall or Rashba effects, can transfer its angular momentum to local moments in a ferromagnetic layer. In this regard, the high charge‐to‐spin conversion efficiency is required for magnetization manipulation for developing future memory or logic devices including magnetic random‐access memory. Here, the bulk Rashba‐type charge‐to‐spin conversion is demonstrated in an artificial superlattice without centrosymmetry. The charge‐to‐spin conversion in [Pt/Co/W] superlattice with sub‐nm scale thickness shows strong W thickness dependence. When the W thickness becomes 0.6 nm, the observed field‐like torque efficiency is about 0.6, which is an order larger than other metallic heterostructures. First‐principles calculation suggests that such large field‐like torque arises from bulk‐type Rashba effect due to the vertically broken inversion symmetry inherent from W layers. The result implies that the spin splitting in a band of such an ABC‐type artificial SL can be an additional degree of freedom for the large charge‐to‐spin conversion.
