摘要
We experimentally investigate electron transport through the interface between a permalloy ferromagnet and the edge of a two-dimensional electron system with strong Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling. We observe strongly nonlinear transport around zero bias at milli-Kelvin temperatures. The observed nonlinearity is fully suppressed above some critical values of temperature, magnetic field, and current through the interface. We interpret this behavior as the result of spin accumulation at the interface and its current-induced absorption as a magnetization torque.
