Controlling the magnetization of a material is a major goal of spin-based information processing. One extensively studied method is to use spin-currents, generated from charge currents via the spin hall effect, however, the resulting spin polarization is typically limited to in-plane orientations. Here, Hazra et al demonstrate the presence of out-of-plane polarized spin-currents, which arise due to spin swapping at the Mn3Sn/permalloy interface.
