  摘要: Electrical control of magnetism has been energized by recent observation of spin-orbit torques in magnetic bilayers made of a heavy metal (HM) and ferromagnet (FM). It has been demonstrated that the spin-orbit torques driven by an in-plane current can switch magnetization, manipulate magnetic domains and excite magnetization auto-oscillation. However, the microscopic mechanism for the spin-orbit torques is still under debate. The question being whether the dominating spin-orbit interaction (SOI) arises from the HM/FM interface due to the Rashba effect or arises in the bulk of HM due to the spin Hall effect, or a combination of the two. It has been theoretically demonstrated that both the Rashba effect and the spin Hall effect generate a spin-orbit effective field (SOF) and spin-orbit effective torque (SOT) on the magnetization, with only quantitative differences. Therefore, an accurate method to determine the SOF and SOT with various thicknesses of the FM and HM are needed. We present a newly developed, magneto-optic-Kerr-effect based spin-orbit torque magnetometer that measures both in-plane and out-of-plane spin-orbit torques, which can have both spatial and time resolution. Through the thickness dependence study, we are able to observe the interface contributions to the spin-orbit torques <1, 2>. Refs: <1> Fan, X., H. Celik, J. Wu, C. Ni, K.-J. Lee, V.O.
