Temperature-dependent spin Hall effect tunneling spectroscopy in platinum

Abstract

We evaluate the spin Hall angle (SHA) for Pt by using spin Hall effect tunneling spectroscopy (SHT) in combination with weak antilocalization analysis. From the angular dependence of the SHT signal, we confirm that the effects of the anomalous Hall effect and anisotropic magnetoresistance are negligible in the SHT signal. Temperature dependence of the obtained SHA indicates that the intrinsic and/or side jump contributions evaluated for Pt in the present study are in good agreement with those reported in previous studies using other methods. On the other hand, there is no correlation in the extrinsic skew scattering contributions associated with the residual resistance of Pt in each study, implying the presence of unveiled impurity and interface effects.
