spintronics 0.3.2

//! Validation against Liu et al., Science **336**, 555 (2012).
//!
//! Spin-orbit torque (SOT) switching in Ta/CoFeB/MgO trilayers. This landmark
//! paper introduced β-tantalum as the heavy metal of choice for SOT-MRAM:
//!
//! 1. **Large negative spin Hall angle for β-Ta**. The fit to the
//!    current-induced effective field gave `θ_SH(β-Ta) ≈ -0.12 ± 0.04`,
//!    *opposite in sign* to Pt. This sign flip is the qualitative fingerprint
//!    of β-phase Ta and is captured by [`THETA_SH_TA`] / [`SpinOrbitTorque::tantalum_cofeb`].
//! 2. **Low critical switching current**. For a perpendicularly magnetised
//!    CoFeB(1.6 nm) / Ta(8 nm) bilayer, the in-plane current density required
//!    for deterministic switching was on the order of `10⁶ A/cm² ≡ 10¹⁰ A/m²`,
//!    far below conventional STT-MRAM. We expose [`J_C_REFERENCE`] and the
//!    full reference table [`COFEB_THICKNESS_M`] / [`J_C_VS_T_A_PER_M2`].
//! 3. **Linear thickness scaling**. Because the SOT critical current is
//!    `j_c ∝ (M_s · t_F · H_eff) / |θ_SH|`, it grows roughly linearly with the
//!    CoFeB thickness when the anisotropy field is held fixed. This is the
//!    key qualitative scaling that
//!    [`Liu2012Validation::validate_thickness_scaling`] verifies.
//! 4. **Polarity convention**. For current along `+x̂` and magnetisation
//!    initially `+ẑ`, the SOT damping-like field has the form
//!    `H_DL ∝ (m × σ)` with `σ = ĵ × ẑ = -ŷ`. The sign of `θ_SH` therefore
//!    determines whether `H_DL` favours `+ẑ → -ẑ` or the reverse switching;
//!    Liu showed that the polarity in Ta is *opposite* to that of Pt.
//!
//! # Caveats
//!
//! - Liu's reported value is `θ_SH(β-Ta) ≈ -0.12` for the *spin Hall angle*;
//!   the *effective* spin Hall efficiency (including back-flow and finite
//!   transparency) implemented by [`SpinOrbitTorque::effective_spin_hall_efficiency`]
//!   is smaller in absolute value. The polarity check uses the *bare* sign of
//!   `θ_SH` to avoid coupling the validation to the transparency model.
//! - The thickness-scaling reference grid is read from the published figures
//!   and inherits a `~20 %` reading uncertainty; the default tolerance is 30 %.
