Broken symmetry at material interfaces allows for novel spintronic functionality via emergent spin–orbit effects. Here, Hupfauer et al. follow the interface-to-bulk transition of ultra-thin epitaxial iron films on gallium arsenide via anisotropic magnetoresistance measurements and first-principle calculations.
