Tailoring Spin-To-Charge Conversion Efficiency via Microwave Frequency in La0.67 Sr0.33MnO3/Pt Bilayer System Pushpendra Gupta, Braj Bhusan Singh, Abhisek Mishra, Aditya Kumar, Anirban Sarkar, Markus Waschk, Subhankar Bedanta Spin, 2023 The generation of spin current in materials with high spin–orbit coupling is one of the primary topics for future spintronic applications. In this context, the high conversion efficiency of spin current to charge current is desired. Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR)-based inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) is a quite popular method to study such spin-to-charge conversion. Here microwave frequency plays a crucial role in generating spin current which further gets converted to charge current due to spin–orbit interaction of the given material. In this work, we show the effect of microwave frequency on spin-to-charge current conversion efficiency in La[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text]MnO3/Pt heterostructure prepared by oxygen-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (OMBE). From the ISHE analysis the maximum spin pumping voltage of ∼98 μV has been observed. Further spin Hall angle has been calculated for different frequencies and the maximum calculated value (∼0.06) for this system has been obtained at 14[Formula: see text]GHz.
Degenerate skyrmionic states in synthetic antiferromagnets Mona Bhukta, Braj Bhusan Singh, Sougata Mallick, Stanislas Rohart, Subhankar Bedanta Nanotechnology, 2022 Topological magnetic textures, characterized by integer topological charge S, are potential candidates in future magnetic logic and memory devices, due to their smaller size and expected low threshold current density for their motion. An essential requirement to stabilize them is the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DMI) which promotes a particular chirality, leading to a unique value of S in a given material. However, recently coexistence of skyrmions and antiskyrmions, with opposite topological charge, in frustrated ferromagnets has been predicted using J 1–J 2–J 3 classical Heisenberg model, which opens new perspectives, to use the topological charge as an additional degree of freedom. In this work, we propose another approach of using a synthetic antiferromagnetic system, where one of the ferromagnetic (FM) layer has isotropic and the other FM layer has anisotropic DMI to promote the existence of skyrmions and antiskyrmions, respectively. A frustrated interaction arises due to the coupling between the magnetic textures in the FM layers, which enables the stabilization and coexistence of 6 novel elliptical topological textures.
High spin mixing conductance and spin interface transparency at the interface of a Co2Fe0.4Mn0.6Si Heusler alloy and Pt Braj Bhusan Singh, Koustuv Roy, Pushpendra Gupta, Takeshi Seki, Koki Takanashi, Subhankar Bedanta Npg Asia Materials, 2021 Ferromagnetic materials exhibiting low magnetic damping (α) and moderately high-saturation magnetization are required from the viewpoints of generation, transmission, and detection of spin waves. Since spin-to-charge conversion efficiency is another important parameter, high spin mixing conductance $$({g_{r}^{\\uparrow \\downarrow}})$$ ( g r ↑ ↓ ) is the key for efficient spin-to-charge conversion. Full Heusler alloys, e.g., Co2Fe0.4Mn0.6Si (CFMS), which are predicted to be 100% spin-polarized, exhibit low α. However, $$g_r^{ \\uparrow \\downarrow }$$ g r ↑ ↓ at the interface between CFMS and a paramagnet is not fully understood. Here, we report investigations of spin pumping and the inverse spin Hall effect in CFMS/Pt bilayers. Damping analysis indicates the presence of significant spin pumping at the interface of CFMS and Pt, which is also confirmed by the detection of an inverse spin Hall voltage. We show that in CFMS/Pt, $$g_r^{ \\uparrow \\downarrow }$$ g r ↑ ↓ (1.70 × 1020 m−2) and the interface transparency (83%) are higher than the values reported for other ferromagnetic/heavy metal systems. We observed a spin Hall angle of ~0.026 for the CFMS/Pt bilayer system.
Spin pumping and inverse spin Hall effect in CoFeB/IrMn heterostructures Koustuv Roy, Abhisek Mishra, Pushpendra Gupta, Shaktiranjan Mohanty, Braj Bhusan Singh, Subhankar Bedanta Journal of Physics D Applied Physics, 2021 High spin to charge conversion efficiency is a requirement for spintronic devices, which are governed by spin pumping and the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE). In the last decade, ISHE and spin pumping have been heavily investigated in ferromagnet/heavy metal (HM) heterostructures. Recently, antiferromagnetic (AFM) materials have been found to be a good replacement for HMs because AFMs exhibit terahertz spin dynamics, high spin–orbit coupling, and absence of the stray field. In this context, we have performed the ISHE in CoFeB/IrMn heterostructures. Spin pumping studies are carried out for Co40Fe40B20(12 nm)/Cu(3 nm)/Ir50Mn50(t nm)/AlO x (3 nm) samples where t value varies from 0 to 10 nm. Damping in all the samples is higher than in the single layer CoFeB which indicates that spin pumping due to IrMn is the underneath mechanism. Further, the spin pumping in the samples is confirmed by angle dependent ISHE measurements. We have also disentangled other spin rectifications effects and found that the spin pumping is dominant in all the samples. From the ISHE analysis the real part of spin mixing conductance ( gr↑↓ ) is found to be 0.704 ± 0.003 × 1018 m−2.
Spin Pumping and Inverse Spin Hall Effect in Iridium Oxide Biswajit Sahoo, Koustuv Roy, Pushpendra Gupta, Abhisek Mishra, Biswarup Satpati, Braj Bhusan Singh, Subhankar Bedanta Advanced Quantum Technologies, 2021 Large charge-to-spin conversion (spin Hall angle) and spin Hall conductivity are prerequisites for development of next generation power efficient spintronic devices. In this context, heavy metals (e.g. Pt, W etc.), topological insulators, antiferromagnets are usually considered because they exhibit high spin-orbit coupling (SOC). In addition to the above materials, 5d transition metal oxide e.g. Iridium Oxide (IrO 2 ) is a potential candidate which exhibits high SOC strength. Here we report a study of spin pumping and inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE), via ferromagnetic resonance (FMR), in IrO 2 /CoFeB system. We identify the individual contribution of spin pumping and other spin rectification effects in the magnetic layer, by investigating the in-plane angular dependence of ISHE signal. Our analysis shows significant contribution of spin pumping effect to the ISHE signal. We show that polycrystalline IrO 2 thin film exhibits high spin Hall conductivity and spin Hall angle which are comparable to the values of Pt.

Superconductivity in Ag implanted Au thin film Manas Kumar Dalai, Braj Bhusan Singh, Salila Kumar Sethy, Satyaprakash Sahoo, Subhankar Bedanta Physica B Condensed Matter, 2021 Au and Ag are known to be metallic and none of them have shown independently superconductivity. Here we show superconductivity in Ag implanted Au thin films. Ag implanted Au films of different thicknesses have been studied using four probe resistance versus temperature measurements. We have also measured the pristine samples (i.e. without any implantation) to compare the transport properties. The superconducting transition occurs around ~2 K (TC) for Ag implanted 20 nm Au film (the lowest resistance observed below TC is ~10-6 Ohm). Change of Tc towards lower temperatures has been observed under the effect of increasing current and magnetic field which endorses the superconducting state. Further the V~I measurements were carried out to verify the superconducting nature. On the other hand, the pristine samples clearly did not exhibit superconductivity down to 1.6 K. Our results open an avenue for further exploring this type of novel superconductivity for future applications.
