“…Other than attractive Pt, Ta, and W, several other 4d and 5d materials were studied. These materials include Ge (θ SH = 0.0011), [107] V (θ SH = 0.071, ρ = 200 μΩ cm), [108] Au (θ SH = 0.0004 and 0.071, ρ = 8 μΩ cm), [109,110] Pd (θ SH = 0.0053, ρ = 21.3 μΩ cm), [111] Mo (θ SH = 0.008 "at low temperature"), [112] Nb (θ SH = 0.001), [113] Hf (θ SH = 0.3, ρ = 154 μΩ cm), [114] Re (θ SH = 0.04, ρ = 102 μΩ cm), [81] U (θ SH = 0.004, ρ = 67 μΩ cm), [115] Rh (θ SH = 0.002), [116] Ru (θ SH =0.0056), [117] Cr (θ SH = 0.007), [117] and Ir (θ SH = 0.02, ρ = 2 μΩ cm). [118] Furthermore, the research trend shifted toward novel engineering/optimization of spin-Hall materials to improve the SHA (and hence reducing the critical current density), while keeping the resistivity values as low as possible.…”
