Sb2Te3 is a layered material that possesses the characteristics of a topological insulator and a phase-change material. In this study, we measured the electromotive force of Sb2Te3/CoFeB bilayers, namely, the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE), induced by ferromagnetic resonance. Two different Sb2Te3 phases (crystal and amorphous) were prepared and, the phase dependent ISHE was investigated. The ISHE exhibited large thickness dependence for the crystalline Sb2Te3 phase, while smaller change against the thickness for the amorphous phase. These findings will be beneficial for the development of a novel device utilizing both charge and spin degrees of freedom in topological insulator-based spintronics applications.
