Magnetochiral anisotropy induced nonreciprocal transport in Si/SiO x /ZnO heterostructures: a path to advanced rectification and spintronics
Source abstract
Abstract
-ZnO interface, which induces Rashba spin-orbit coupling. This leads to spin-momentum locking and chiral transport within the heterostructure, while the spin-orbit interaction also enhances asymmetric skew scattering. The robust, tunable NCT response across all three orientations provides a platform for developing precise, direction-sensitive sensors that enable accurate magnetic field detection, low-power nonlinear rectification, and directional differentiation in complex electromagnetic environments.
