Spin-orbit-torque (SOT) switching is a potentially energy-efficient mechanism by which electrical current can control magnetization. We demonstrate room-temperature SOT switching in nanometer-thickbilayers despite the amorphous nature of CoFeB and the interface. This behavior is attributed to the large spin Hall angle inas well as high spin transmission at the interface that contribute to the SOT efficiency. Our bilayers exhibit largeof up to 1.4 and effective spin Hall conductivity of(2e). In our bilayers, we observe unidirectional magnetoresistance and current-induced magnetization switching with a low critical current density ofat room temperature. Our results are promising for heterostructures combining technologically relevant CoFeB with high spin-orbit-coupling oxides.
