Condensed matter physics

a torque on a magnet's magnetization produced by an in-plane current through spin-orbit coupling, able to switch the magnet without a spin-polarizing layer.

In condensed matter physics, spin-orbit torque refers to a torque on a magnet's magnetization produced by an in-plane current through spin-orbit coupling, able to switch the magnet without a spin-polarizing layer. This meaning comes from Miron (2011) in Nature.[1]
