Abstract: The connection between the spin-orbit torque (SOT) and inverse spin-orbit torque (ISOT) in systems without inversion symmetry is studied by combining phenomenological models, diffusion theory, and density functional theory. Using this, DFT calculations on Co/Pt(111) magnetic bilayers expose the mechanisms underlying SOT and ISOT and highlight their reciprocity on the microscopic level.
