Abstract

Ultrathin magnetic systems have properties qualitatively different from their thicker counterparts, implying that different physics governs their properties. We demonstrate that various such properties can be explained naturally by the Rashba spin-orbit coupling in ultrathin magnetic systems. This work will be valuable for the development of next generation spintronic devices based on ultrathin magnetic systems.
