The desire for higher information capacities drives the components of electronic devices to ever smaller dimensions so that device properties are determined increasingly more by interfaces than by the bulk structure of the constituent materials. Spintronic devices, especially, benefit from the presence of interfaces--the reduced structural symmetry creates emergent spin-orbit fields that offer novel possibilities to control device functionalities. But where does the bulk end, and the interface b ...[more]
