The spin–orbit coupling spin torque consists of the field-like [S. G. Tan et al., arXiv:0705.3502 (2007).] and the damping-like terms [H. Kurebayashi et al., Nat. Nanotechnol. 9, 211 (2014).] that have been widely studied for applications in magnetic memory. We focus, in this paper, not on the spin–orbit effect producing the above spin torques, but on its magnifying the damping constant of all field-like spin torques. As first-order precession leads to second-order damping, the Rashba constant is naturally co-opted, producing a magnified field-like damping effect. The Landau–Liftshitz–Gilbert equations are written separately for the local magnetization and the itinerant spin, allowing the progression of magnetization to be self-consistently locked to the spin.

A study on spin transfer torque switching in a magnetic tunnel junction with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is presented. The switching current can be strongly reduced under a spin torque oscillator (STO), and its use in addition to the conventional transport in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) should be considered. The reduction of the switching current from the parallel state to the antiparallel state is greater than in  the opposite direction, thus minimizing the asymmetry of the resistance versus current in the hysteresis loop. This reduction of both switching current and asymmetry under a spin torque oscillator occurs only during the writing process and does not affect the thermal stability of the free layer.
