Magnetoresistance in Hybrid Pt/CoFe 2 O 4 Bilayers Controlled by Competing Spin Accumulation and Interfacial Chemical Reconstruction.
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces 2018 April 12
Pure spin currents have potential for use in energy-friendly spintronics. They can be generated by a flow of charge along a nonmagnetic metal with large spin-orbit coupling. This produces a spin accumulation at the surfaces, controllable by the magnetization of an adjacent ferromagnetic layer. Paramagnetic metals typically used are close to ferromagnetic instability and thus magnetic proximity effects can contribute to the observed angular-dependent magnetoresistance (ADMR). As interface phenomena govern the spin conductance across the metal/ferromagnetic-insulator heterostructures, unraveling these distinct contributions is pivotal for a full understanding of spin current conductance. Here, we report X-ray absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at Pt M and (Co, Fe) L absorption edges and atomically resolved energy electron loss spectroscopy (EELS) data of Pt/CoFe2 O4 bilayers, where CoFe2 O4 layers have been capped by Pt grown at different temperatures. It was found that the ADMR differs dramatically, dominated either by spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) associated with the spin Hall effect or by anisotropic magnetoresistance. The XMCD and EELS data indicate that the Pt layer grown at room temperature does not display any magnetic moment, whereas when grown at a higher temperature, it becomes magnetic due to interfacial Pt-(Co, Fe) alloying. These results enable differentiation of spin accumulation from interfacial chemical reconstructions and tailoring of the angular-dependent magnetoresistance.
