Role of magnetic exchange interaction due to magnetic anisotropy on inverse spin Hall voltage at FeSi3%/Pt thin film bilayer interface

In our recent studies inverse spin Hall voltage (ISHE) was investigated by ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) using bilayer FeSi3%/Pt thin film prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. In ISHE measurement microwave signal was applied on FeSi3% film along with DC magnetic field. Higher magnetization value along the film-plane was measured by magnetic hysteresis (M-H) loop. Presence of magnetic anisotropy has been obtained by M-H loop which showed easy direction of magnetization when applied magnetic field is parallel to the film plane. The main result of this study is that FMR induced inverse spin Hall voltage 12.6 mu V at 1.0 GHz was obtained across Pt layer. Magnetic exchange field at bilayer interface responsible for field torque was measured 6 x 10(14) Omega(-1) m(-2) by spin Hall magnetoresistance. The damping torque and spin Hall angle have been evaluated as 0.084 and 0.071 respectively. Presence of Si atom in FeSi3% inhomogenize the magnetic exchange field among accumulated spins at bilayer interface and feebly influenced by spin torque of FeSi3% layer. Weak field torque suppresses the spin pumping to Pt layer thus low value of inverse spin Hall voltage is obtained. This study provides an excellent opportunity to investigate spin transfer torque effect, thus motivating a more intensive experimental effort for its utilization at maximum potential. The improvement in spin transfer torque may be useful in spin valve, spin battery and spin transistor application. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
