Recent Progress On Low‐Power Electrical Control of Magnetization in Transition Metal Oxide Heterostructures
Abstract Transition metal oxides (TMOs) have emerged as pivotal platforms for next‐generation spintronic devices due to its versatile tunability between spin, charge, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom. This review delves into recent advancements in low‐power electrical control of magnetization within TMO heterostructures, focusing on charge‐spin interconversion, non‐collinear spin order and spin transport, and magnetization switching phenomena. First, the spin‐orbit effects are discussed, including the spin Hall effect (SHE) and Rashba‐Edelstein effects which enable efficient spin‐charge interconversion. Then, the review explores the latest progress of non‐collinear spin textures and spin transport, showcasing their potential for low‐power spintronic applications. The third part highlights the innovative strategies for magnetization switching, like field‐free spin‐orbit torque (SOT) and magnon‐mediated switching. Finally, it is outlined key challenges and future directions to propel the development of practical, low‐power spintronic devices based on transition metal oxides.
