The design of spin polarization is an essential agenda for further development of spin-orbit torque (SOT) applications. Typical polarization vectors lack the out-of-plane (OOP) and one of the in-plane (IP) components, leading to nondeterministic switching problems at type-z and type-x configurations. Unleashing these unconventional SOTs has principally required additional symmetry breaking for thin-film layered structures. Here, we introduce a new approach to induce huge OOP and IP SOTs for Bi2Te3/CoFeB heterostructures, relying on a unique symmetry reduction protocol of the Fermi surface.
