that crystallize in diamond-related lattices, with Si and
GaAs as their prime examples, are at the foundation of
modern electronics. 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.},
