内容简介:

The spin Hall angle, measuring the efficiency of the spin current and charge current conversion, varies with material and can even have opposite signs (positive in Pt and negative in W). Intuitively, one expects that the spin Hall current would be reduced if combining two metallic layers with opposite sign spin Hall angles. In this work, we studied the spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) in W/Pt/Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) trilayers. We found that the SMR ratio, thus the spin accumulation at Pt/YIG interface, is enhanced with the additional ultrathin W layer. Our theoretical simulation based on the spin drift-diffusion model confirms the experimental results. Our findings not only demonstrate the incorrectness of the simple intuitive picture, but also provide a simple approach to enhance the spin accumulation. In the second part of this talk, we clarify the physical origin of the dc voltage generation in a bilayer of a conducting polymer film and a micrometer-thick magnetic insulator YIG film under the ferromagnetic resonance. The previous attributed mechanism, the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) in the polymer, is excluded. Thus, we argue that the dc voltage is governed by the Seebeck effect in the polymer, where the temperature gradient is created by the nonreciprocal magnetostatic surface spin wave propagation in YIG.
