Abstract
Understanding interfacial spin transport is key to developing magnetoelectonic devices, however, the exact nature of the parameters involved is unclear. Here, we report a detailed ferromagnetic resonance-based spintransport analysis on a variety of structures of both ferromagnetic (Co, CoFeB) and heavy metal layers (Pt, Ru) in order to fully quantify the interfacial spin-transport parameters. Enhanced spin-mixing conductance is observed for more closely matched ferromagnet and heavy metal crystal structures, and, significantly, the inclusion of a thickness-dependent spin-diffusion length gives a bulk value of 9.4 ± 0.7 nm for Pt, resolving reported discrepancies.
