Iridate Based Heterostructures with High Spin Hall Angle
摘要
Artificial oxide lattices realize atomic and crystal structures that are not available in nature, thus providing controllable correlated quantum phenomena. In our case it is the La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/SrIrO3 heterostructure that was epitaxially grown in situ by magnetron sputtering. The La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 used as a ferromagnet, and SrIrO3 as a 5d transition metal oxide with strong spin-orbital coupling. Their interface allows to observe an appearance of spin current induced by spin-pumping under the conditions of ferromagnetic resonance. However, through spin magnetoresistance measurements, it is convenient to evaluate an important parameter—spin-Hall angle. Measurements of spin Hall magnetoresistance were made in both the transverse and longitudinal configurations in an in-plane external magnetic field. For additional characterization of electron transport, the measurements of an ordinary Hall effect and magnetoresistance in a perpendicular magnetic field were performed.
