Topological materials have shown promising potential in the spintronics application due to their conspicuous efficiency of charge-to-spin conversion. Our research investigates the temperature-dependent spin–orbit torque (SOT) from sputtered WTex. We reveal a strong temperature dependence of SOT and realize the current-induced SOT switching of WTex with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy structure under a wide range of 12 K to room temperature. Our findings reveal the temperature dependence of sputtered WTex and may pave the way for the spintronics application of semimetals under cryogenic temperature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
