Spin Hall effects convert charge currents into spin currents and vice versa even in
nonmagnetic conductors due to spin orbit coupling. This enables spin Hall effects to be …

Graded magnetic materials represent a promising new avenue in modern material science
from both fundamental and application points of view. Over the course of the last few years …

Strong damping enhancement in nm-thick yttrium iron garnet (YIG) films due to Pt capping
layers was observed. This damping is substantially larger than the expected damping due to …

We experimentally investigate spin-orbit torques and spin pumping in NiFe/Pt bilayers with
direct and interrupted interfaces. The dampinglike and fieldlike torques are simultaneously …

The spin diffusion length of Pt at room temperature and at 8 K is experimentally determined
via spin pumping and spin Hall effect in permalloy/Pt bilayers. Voltages generated during …

Spin-memory loss (SML) of electrons traversing ferromagnetic-metal/heavy-metal (FM/HM),
FM/normal-metal (FM/NM), and HM/NM interfaces is a fundamental phenomenon that must …

Harnessing spin-orbit coupling for the manipulation of spins and magnetization via electric
charge currents is the key objective of spin-orbitronics. Towards this end ferromagnetic …

Low-dimensional magnetic heterostructures are a key element of spintronics, where
magnetic interactions between different materials often define the functionality of devices …

There has been recent controversy about the magnitude of spin-flipping in the heavy metal
Pt, characterized by the spin-diffusion length lsf Pt. We propose a resolution of this …

We utilize nanoscale spin valves with Pt spacer layers to characterize spin relaxation in Pt.
Analysis of the spin lifetime indicates that Elliott-Yafet spin scattering is dominant at room …
