Enhancement of Spin-Charge Conversion Efficiency for Co${}_3$Sn${}_2$S${}_2$ across Transition from Paramagnetic to Ferromagnetic Phase

Abstract

Co${}_3$Sn${}_2$S${}_2$ (CSS) is one of the shandite compounds and becomes a magnetic Weyl semimetal candidate below the ferromagnetic phase transition temperature (${\text{T}}_{\text{C}}$). In this paper, we investigate the temperature ($\text{T}$) dependence of conversion between charge current and spin current for the CSS thin film by measuring the spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR) for the trilayer consisting of CSS / Cu / CoFeB. Above ${\text{T}}_{\text{C}}$ ~ 170 K, the CSS / Cu / CoFeB trilayer exhibits the clear ST-FMR signal coming from the spin Hall effect in the paramagnetic CSS and the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) of CoFeB. Below ${\text{T}}_{\text{C}}$, on the other hand, it is found that the ST-FMR signal involves the dc voltages (${\text{V}}_{\text{dc}}$) not only through the AMR but also through the giant magnetoresistance (GMR). Thus, the resistance changes coming from both AMR and GMR should be taken into account to correctly understand the characteristic field angular dependence of ${\text{V}}_{\text{dc}}$. The spin Hall torque generated from the ferromagnetic CSS, which possesses the same symmetry as that for spin Hall effect, dominantly acts on the magnetization of CoFeB. A definite increase in the spin-charge conversion efficiency ($\xi$) is observed at $\text{T}$ < ${\text{T}}_{\text{C}}$, indicating that the phase transition to the ferromagnetic CSS promotes the highly efficient spin-charge conversion. In addition, our theoretical calculation shows the increase in spin Hall conductivity with the emergence of magnetic moment at $\text{T}$ < ${\text{T}}_{\text{C}}$, which is consistent with the experimental observation.
