Abstract
Spin-orbit torque phenomena enable efficient manipulation of the magnetization in ferromagnet/heavy metal bilayer systems for prospective magnetic memory and logic applications. Kagome magnets are of particular interest for spin-orbit torque due to the interplay of magnetic order and the nontrivial band topology (e.g., flat bands and Dirac and Weyl points). Here we demonstrate spin-orbit torque and quantify its efficiency in a bilayer system of topological kagome ferromagnet Fe3Sn2 and platinum. We use two different techniques, one based on the quasistatic magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) and another based on time-resolved MOKE, to quantify spin-orbit torque. Both techniques give a consistent value of the effective spin Hall angle of the Fe3Sn2/Pt system. Our work may lead to further advances in spintronics based on topological kagome magnets.
