Article Abstract
The spin-to-charge conversion in Permalloy (Py)/Cu/BiSe is tunable by changing the Cu layer thickness. The conversion rate was studied using the spin pumping technique. The inverse Edelstein effect (IEE) length λ is found to increase up to ~2.7 nm when a 7 nm Cu layer is introduced. Interestingly, the maximized λ is obtained when the effective spin-mixing conductance (and thus J) is decreased due to Cu insertion. The monotonic increase in λ with decreasing J suggests that the IEE relaxation time (τ) is enhanced due to the additional tunnelling barrier (Cu layer) that limits the interfacial transmission rate. The results demonstrate the importance of interface engineering in the magnetic heterostructure of Py/topological insulators (TIs), the key factor in optimizing spin-to-charge conversion efficiency.

Recent achievements in ultrafast spin physics have enabled the use of heterostructures composed of ferromagnetic (FM)/non-magnetic (NM) thin layers for terahertz (THz) generation. The mechanism of THz emission from FM/NM multilayers has been typically ascribed to the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE). In this work, we probe the mechanism of the ISHE by inserting a second ferromagnetic layer in the form of an alloy between the FM/NM system.

The development of spin-orbit-torque (SOT) devices has sparked considerable research interest, particularly in the quest for novel materials that exhibit high spin-to-charge conversion efficiencies for effective magnetic switching. However, optimizing structure and improving efficiency necessitate theoretical insights and material innovations. In this study, we employ first-principles calculations to investigate the persistent spin current in magnetic topological material MnSbTe.

Two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials, with their unique van der Waals (vdW) layered structure, tunable magnetism, and strong spin-orbit coupling, are promising for spintronic applications like terahertz (THz) emitters. Our study investigates the THz radiation properties of the newly discovered vdW ferromagnet FePdTe, which features a one-dimensional Fe zigzag chain structure and strong in-plane uniaxial anisotropy. Using ultrafast reflective THz emission spectroscopy (TES), we demonstrate that the paramagnetic FePdTe produces weak THz emission at room temperature.

The rapid advancement of future information technologies necessitates the development of high-efficiency and cost-effective solutions for terahertz emitters, which hold significant practical value in next-generation communication, terahertz sensing, and quantum computing applications. Distinguished from trivial materials, three-dimensional topological insulators exhibit spin-momentum locking in helical Dirac surface states, making them highly efficient spin-to-charge converters that have the potential to revolutionize electronics. However, the efficiency of utilizing topological insulators for spin terahertz emission has not yet matched that of spin manipulation in other spintronic devices.

The rise of nonmagnetic topological semimetals, which provide a promising platform for observing and controlling various spin-orbit effects, has led to significant advancements in the field of topological spintronics. RhSi exists in two distinct polymorphs: cubic and orthorhombic crystal structures. The noncentrosymmetric B20 cubic structure has been extensively studied in the bulk for hosting unconventional multifold Fermions.
