摘要	Owing to the large spin-orbit coupling and tunable magnetization, heavy rare-earth metals Gd and Tb have great effects on the enhancement of spin-orbit torque (SOT) and fast domain wall (DW) motion. However, the reports on the heavy rare-earth metal Ho with more 4f electrons in the research of spintronics are limited. In this work, we found that the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) and SOT in Pt/Co/Ho multilayers can be strongly influenced by changing the thickness of the Ho (t(Ho)) layer. Att(Ho)= 2.4 nm, DMI exchange constant \|D\| and spin torque efficiency xi(DL)reach maximum values of 1.24 mJ m(-2)and 0.137 respectively, which are comparable with those in other Pt/Co/nonmagnetic (NM) layer structures. Deterministic current-induced magnetization switching with a low critical current density of 10(6)A cm(-2)can be realized whent(Ho)is less than 5 nm. The Neel-type DW with left-handed chirality and positive signDcan be determined by observing the current-induced asymmetric DW motion. Our results are helpful to prompt the application of heavy rare-earth elements in the fields of the DMI, SOT and chiral DW dynamics.
