Large spin current generation by the spin Hall effect in mixed crystalline phase Ta thin films

Abstract

Manipulation of the magnetization in heavy-metal/ferromagnetic bilayers via the spin-orbit torque requires high spin Hall conductivity of the heavy metal. We measure inverse spin Hall voltage using a co-planar wave-guide based broadband ferromagnetic resonance set-up in Py/Ta system with varying crystalline phase of Ta. We demonstrate a strong correlation between the measured spin mixing conductance and spin Hall conductivity with the crystalline phase of Ta thin films. We found a large spin Hall conductivity of $-2439(\hslash /e){\Omega }^{-1}$cm${}^{-1}$ for low-resistivity (68 $\mu \Omega -$cm) Ta film having mixed crystalline phase, which we attribute to an extrinsic mechanism of the spin Hall effect.
