Inverse Spin Hall Effect In Auxta1-X Alloy Films
PHYSICAL REVIEW B(2018)
摘要
Gold (Au) and tantalum (Ta) metals are two important spin Hallmaterials with diametrically different crystalline structure, resistivity, and spin Hall angle. By vapor quenching, AuxTa1-x alloys of different crystalline and amorphous structures, stable and metastable, have been formed over the entire composition range. We have studied the inverse spin Hall voltage induced by the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect in AuxTa1-x alloy films. We have found that the inverse spin Hall voltage Delta V-ISHE, resistivity rho, and the spin Hall angle theta(SH) vary smoothly with composition. Both the spin Hall angle and the spin Hall conductivity exhibit a quasilinear dependence on composition in the concentrated alloy regime, despite drastic differences in other properties. As corroborated by first-principles calculation, we show that the contribution to spin Hall effect in AuxTa1-x alloy is dominated by the number of valence electrons. We also show that the magnetoresistance correlates with the spin Hall angle.
