abstract = {Motivated by the importance of understanding various
competing mechanisms to the current-induced spin-orbit
torque on magnetization in complex magnets, we develop a
theory of current-induced spin-orbital coupled dynamics in
magnetic heterostructures. The theory describes angular
momentum transfer between different degrees of freedom in
solids, e.g., the electron orbital and spin, the crystal
lattice, and the magnetic order parameter. Based on the
continuity equations for the spin and orbital angular
momenta, we derive equations of motion that relate spin and
orbital current fluxes and torques describing the transfer
of angular momentum between different degrees of freedom,
achieved in a steady state under an applied external
electric field. We then propose a classification scheme for
the mechanisms of the current-induced torque in magnetic
bilayers. We evaluate the sources of torque using density
functional theory, effectively capturing the impact of the
electronic structure on these quantities. We apply our
formalism to two different magnetic bilayers, Fe/W(110) and
Ni/W(110), which are chosen such that the orbital and spin
Hall effects in W have opposite sign and the resulting spin-
and orbital-mediated torques can compete with each other. We
find that while the spin torque arising from the spin Hall
effect of W is the dominant mechanism of the current-induced
torque in Fe/W(110), the dominant mechanism in Ni/W(110) is
the orbital torque originating in the orbital Hall effect of
the nonmagnetic substrate. Thus, the effective spin Hall
angles for the total torque are negative and positive in the
two systems. Our prediction can be experimentally identified
in moderately clean samples, where intrinsic contributions
dominate. This clearly demonstrates that our formalism is
ideal for studying the angular momentum transfer dynamics in
spin-orbit coupled systems as it goes beyond the “spin
current picture” by naturally incorporating the spin and
orbital degrees of freedom on an equal footing. Our
calculations reveal that, in addition to the spin and
orbital torque, other contributions such as the interfacial
torque and self-induced anomalous torque within the
ferromagnet are not negligible in both material systems.},
