Spin mixing conductance at the ferromagnet (FM)/heavy metal (HM) interface is a key parameter to estimate the spin current injection into heavy metal. The electrical detection of such injected spin current in heavy metal is possible via inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE). Herein, a large spin mixing conductance in the range of (4.95−6.52) × 1018 m−2 in Ta/permalloy(Py) bilayer structures is reported. In‐plane angular‐dependent ISHE voltage measurements in Ta/Py samples reveal the dominance of spin pumping voltage component over the other spin rectification contributions. Voltage contribution due to spin pumping and anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) increases with the Py thickness due to the enhancement in spin pumping and increase in spin‐dependent scattering, respectively. Anomalous Hall effect (AHE) contribution in Py is found to be relatively small.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
