We experimentally determine that a Pt layer insertion between the Co/Ta interface can effectively negate the field-like spin-orbit torque (SOT) in perpendicularly magnetized Pt/Co/Pt(t)/Ta structures, as the Rashba effects at the Pt/Co and Co/Pt interfaces counteract each other. The damping-like ter...
