[21a-PA2-5] Spin current transmission at Y3Fe5O12/IrO2 interfaces
Keywords:interface, oxide
We have focused on Y3Fe5O12 (YIG)/IrO2 bilayers, which are expected to show higher spin to charge current conversion ratio compared to widely used YIG/Pt bilayers in terms of magnetization control by spin current. We measured temperature dependence of magnetization of the YIG ferromagnetic layer sputtered under the optimized condition to find the ideal saturation magnetization of 5 µB/f.c. at 10 K, which is equal to that of bulk YIG crystals. With this optimized YIG layer, we measure spin hall magnetoresistance (SMR) of the YIG/IrO2 bilayers in order to clarify the spin to charge current conversion efficiency.
