RESUMO

Spin Seebeck effect (SSE) measured for metallic ferromagnetic thin films in commonly used longitudinal configuration contains the contribution from anomalous Nernst effect (ANE). The ANE is considered to arise from the bulk of the ferromagnet (FM) and the proximity-induced FM boundary layer. We fabricate a FM alloy with zero Nernst coefficient to mitigate the ANE contamination of SSE and insert a thin layer of Cu to separate the heavy metal (HM) from the FM to avoid the proximity contribution. These modifications to the experiment should permit complete isolation of SSE from ANE in the longitudinal configuration. However, further thickness dependence studies and careful analysis of the results revealed, ANE contribution of the isolated FM alloy is twofold, surface and bulk. Both surface and bulk contributions, whose magnitudes are comparable to that of the SSE, can be modified by the neighboring layer. Hence surface contribution to the ANE in FM metals is an important effect that needs to be considered.

RESUMO

Spin-orbit interaction-driven phenomena such as the spin Hall and Rashba effect in ferromagnetic/heavy metal bilayers enables efficient manipulation of the magnetization via electric current. However, the underlying mechanism for the spin-orbit interaction-driven phenomena remains unsettled. Here we develop a sensitive spin-orbit torque magnetometer based on the magneto-optic Kerr effect that measures the spin-orbit torque vectors for cobalt iron boron/platinum bilayers over a wide thickness range. We observe that the Slonczewski-like torque inversely scales with the ferromagnet thickness, and the field-like torque has a threshold effect that appears only when the ferromagnetic layer is thinner than 1 nm. Through a thickness-dependence study with an additional copper insertion layer at the interface, we conclude that the dominant mechanism for the spin-orbit interaction-driven phenomena in this system is the spin Hall effect. However, there is also a distinct interface contribution, which may be because of the Rashba effect.
