Abstract

We report on the spin-to-charge conversion (SCC) in Mo0.25W0.75Te2−x (MWT)/Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) heterostructures at room temperature. The centimeter-scale amorphous MWT films are deposited on liquid-phase-epitaxial YIG by pulsed laser deposition technique. The significant SCC voltage is measured in the MWT layer with a sizable spin Hall angle of ∼0.021 by spin pumping experiments. The control experiments by inserting MgO or Ag layer between MWT and YIG show that the SCC is mainly attributed to the inverse spin Hall effect rather than the thermal or interfacial Rashba effect. Our work provides a novel spin-source material for energy-efficient topological spintronic devices.
