Temperature Dependence of Spin Hall Angle of Palladium

In this study, the temperature dependence of the spin Hall angle of palladium (Pd) was experimentally investigated by spin pumping. A Ni80Fe20/Pd bilayer thin film was prepared, and a pure spin current was dynamically injected into the Pd layer. This caused the conversion of the spin current to a charge current owing to the inverse spin Hall effect. It was found that the spin Hall angle varies as a function of temperature, whereby the value of the spin Hall angle increases to ca. 0.02 at 133 K.
