Simultaneously, inversion asymmetries in their crystal structure and relativistic spin–orbit coupling led to discoveries of non-equilibrium spin-polarization phenomena that are now extensively explored as an electrical means for manipulating magnetic moments in a variety of spintronic structures. Current research of these relativistic spin–orbit torques focuses primarily on magnetic transition-metal multilayers. The low-temperature diluted magnetic semiconductor (Ga, Mn)As, in which spin–orbit torques were initially discovered, has so far remained the only example showing the phenomenon among bulk non-centrosymmetric ferromagnets. Here we present a general framework, based on the complete set of crystallographic point groups, for identifying the potential presence and symmetry of spin–orbit torques in non-centrosymmetric crystals. Among the candidate room-temperature ferromagnets we chose to use NiMnSb, which is a member of the broad family of magnetic Heusler compounds. By performing all-electrical ferromagnetic resonance measurements in single-crystal epilayers of NiMnSb we detect room-temperature spin–orbit torques generated by effective fields of the expected symmetry and of a magnitude consistent with our ab initio calculations. 000809445 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-142$$a142 - Controlling Spin-Based Phenomena (POF3-142)$$cPOF3-142$$fPOF III$$x0 000809445 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef 000809445 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aAnderson, L.$$b1 000809445 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aTshitoyan, V.$$b2 000809445 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aFerguson, A.
