Intraband and interband contributions to the current-driven spin-orbit torque in magnetic materials lacking inversion symmetry are theoretically studied using the Kubo formula. In addition to the current-driven fieldlike torque ${\mathbf{T}}_{\mathrm{FL}}={\ensuremath{\tau}}_{\mathrm{FL}}\mathbf{m}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{\mathbf{u}}_{\mathrm{so}}$ (${\mathbf{u}}_{\mathrm{so}}$ being a unit vector determined by the symmetry of the spin-orbit coupling), we explore the intrinsic… Expand
