Spin–orbit torque in heavy metal/ferromagnet heterostructures is promising for all-electric control of magnetic memory, but has so far required an additional symmetry breaking in the design to switch perpendicular magnetization. Instead, a low symmetry at the interface can give rise to out-of-plane spin torque and switch the magnetization deterministically.
