Large Spin-Orbit Coupling Systems for Emerging Physics and Spintronics Applications

In order to address current challenges of spintronics, opportunities may exist for a focus research on the understanding and manipulation of fundamental spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in topological quantum materials. In this talk, I will present our work on the control of spin/magnetic states in topological quantum systems. The independent manipulation of the topology of energy band and the magnetic exchange order enable us to observe and emerging effects at high temperatures. In addition, I will also summarize our recent work on utilizing interfacial SOC for low-power spintronics devices with highly spin-to-charge conversion efficiency.
