abstract = {Recent experimental observation of an unexpectedly large
current-induced spin-orbit torque in surface oxidized Cu on
top of a ferromagnet pointed to a possibly prominent role of
the orbital Rashba effect (ORE) in this system. Here, we use
first principles methods to investigate the ORE in a system
of oxygen monolayer deposited on top of a Cu(111) film. We
show that surface oxidization of the Cu film leads to a
gigantic enhancement of the ORE near the Fermi energy. The
resulting chiral orbital texture in the momentum space is
exceptionally strong, reaching as much as ∼0.5ℏ in
magnitude. We find that resonant hybridization between O p
states and Cu d states is responsible for the emergence of
the ORE at the interface. We also present a minimal model
that captures the emergence of the ORE through the pd
hybridization mechanism. We demonstrate that an application
of an external electric field to the system generates
colossal orbital Hall currents which are an order of
magnitude larger than the spin Hall currents found in heavy
metals. This implies that the “orbital torque” mechanism
may be significant in surface oxidized Cu/ferromagnet
structures. Our results encourage an experimental
verification of the rich orbital physics in surface oxidized
Cu films through optical measurements such as angle-resolved
photoemission spectroscopy and momentum microscopy.},
