摘要:

本文对铁磁绝缘体/铂和铁磁绝缘体/非铁磁金属/铂混合结构中的自旋霍尔磁电阻效应进行了实验研究和定量分析。对于铁磁绝缘体,我们使用钇铁石榴石、镍铁氧体或磁铁矿,而对于非铁磁体,我们使用铜或金。自旋霍尔磁电阻效应理论上归因于铂金属顶层的自旋霍尔效应和反自旋霍尔效应的共同作用。因此,它的特性应该取决于相邻铁磁体的磁化方向,并且即使在Pt和铁磁体之间插入额外的非铁磁金属层也会占上风。我们的实验数据证实了这些理论假设。利用自旋霍尔磁电阻理论对实验数据进行了分析,得到了铂的自旋霍尔角和自旋扩散长度。对于$4\times10^{14}\;\mathrm{Ω^{-1}m^{-2}}$的自旋混合电导,我们得到了我们的薄膜样品中Pt的$0.11\pm0.08$的自旋霍尔角和$(1.5\pm0.5)\;\mathrm{nm}$的自旋扩散长度。

英文摘要:

We experimentally investigate and quantitatively analyze the spin Hall magnetoresistance effect in ferromagnetic insulator/platinum and ferromagnetic insulator/nonferromagnetic metal/platinum hybrid structures. For the ferromagnetic insulator we use either yttrium iron garnet, nickel ferrite or magnetite and for the nonferromagnet copper or gold. The spin Hall magnetoresistance effect is theoretically ascribed to the combined action of spin Hall and inverse spin Hall effect in the platinum metal top layer. It therefore should characteristically depend upon the orientation of the magnetization in the adjacent ferromagnet, and prevail even if an additional, nonferromagnetic metal layer is inserted between Pt and the ferromagnet. Our experimental data corroborate these theoretical conjectures. Using the spin Hall magnetoresistance theory to analyze our data, we extract the spin Hall angle and the spin diffusion length in platinum. For a spin mixing conductance of $4\times10^{14}\;\mathrm{Ω^{-1}m^{-2}}$ we obtain a spin Hall angle of $0.11\pm0.08$ and a spin diffusion length of $(1.5\pm0.5)\;\mathrm{nm}$ for Pt in our thin film samples.
