Ferromagnetic resonance spin pumping in CoFeB with highly resistive non-magnetic electrodes

Abstract

The relative contribution of spin pumping and spin rectification from the ferromagnetic resonance of CoFeB/non-magnetic bilayers was investigated as a function of non-magnetic electrode resistance. Samples with highly resistive electrodes of Ta or Ti exhibit a stronger spin rectification signal, which may result in over-(or under-)estimation of the spin Hall angle of the materials, while those with low resistive electrodes of Pt or Pd show the domination of the inverse spin Hall effect from spin pumping. By comparison with samples of single FM layer and an inverted structure, we provide a proper analysis method to extract spin pumping contribution.
