High efficiency of charge–spin interconversion in spin Hall materials is a prime necessity to apprehend intriguing functionalities of spin–orbit torque for magnetization switching, auto‐oscillations, and domain wall motion in energy‐efficient and high‐speed spintronic devices. To this end, innovations in fabricating advanced materials that possess not only large charge–spin conversion efficiency but also viable electrical and spin Hall conductivity are of importance. Here, a new spin Hall material designed by implanting low energy 12 keV sulfur ions in heavy metal Pt, named as Pt(S), is reported that demonstrates eight times higher conversion efficiency as compared to pristine Pt. The figure of merit, spin Hall angle (θSH), up to of 0.502 together with considerable electrical conductivity of 1.65 × 106 Ω–1 m–1 is achieved. The spin Hall conductivity increases with increasing , as , implying an intrinsic mechanism in a dirty metal conduction regime. A comparatively large of 8.32 × 105 () Ω–1 m–1 among the reported heavy‐metals‐based alloys can be useful for developing next‐generation spintronic devices using spin–orbit torque.

The
atomically flat interface of the Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) thin film and the Gd3Ga5O12 (GGG) substrate plays a vital role in obtaining the
magnetization dynamics of YIG below and above the anisotropy field.
Here, magnetoimpedance (MI) is used to investigate the magnetization
dynamics in fully epitaxial 45 nm YIG thin films grown on the GGG
(001) substrates using a copper strip coil in the MHz–GHz frequency
region. The resistance (R) and reactance (X), which are components of impedance (Z), allow us to probe the absorptive and dispersive components of
the dynamic permeability, whereas a conventional spectrometer only
measures the field derivative of the power absorbed. The distinct
excitation modes arising from the resonance in the uniform and dragged
magnetization states of YIG are respectively observed above and below
the anisotropy field. The magnetodynamics clearly shows the visible
dichotomy between two resonant fields below and above the anisotropy
field and its motion as a function of the direction of the applied
magnetic field. A low value of a damping factor of ∼4.7 –
6.1 × 10–4 is estimated for uniform excitation
mode with an anisotropy field of 65 ± 2 Oe. Investigation of
below and above anisotropy field-dependent magnetodynamics in the
low-frequency mode can be useful in designing the YIG-based resonators,
oscillators, filters, and magnonic devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
