Orbital torques can be used to control magnetization, however, their efficacy is strongly dependent on the conversion of the orbital torque to a spin torque, either in the ferromagnet, or a spacer layer. Here Ding et al demonstrate the potential of antiferromagnetic insulators, specifically CoO, as an extremely efficient orbital-to-spin transducer.
