Abstract

We examine the influence of crystal growth on the spin-pumping induced inverse spin Hall effect in Fe/Pt bilayers. The morphology of the Fe/Pt interface influences the effective spin mixing conductance. The increase of growth temperature leads to smoother and larger grains at the interface that enhance the effective spin mixing conductance. The spin current injection efficiency into Pt, measured by the inverse spin Hall effect, is maximized by optimizing the epitaxy of Pt on Fe. In magnetic field dependent measurements, the presence of a strong magnetic anisotropy gives rise to two distinct inverse spin Hall effect voltage peaks.
