Thickness dependence on dynamical spin injection driven by thermal effects in CoFeB/Pt bilayer
In ferromagnetic metal (FM)/non-magnetic metal (NM) bilayer structures, dynamical spin injection is primarily attributed to spin pumping at the interface. However, thermal effects, such as the spin (dependent) Seebeck effect (S(d)SE) caused by FMR heating effect, are also expected to contribute, particularly farther from the interface within the FM layer. In this study, the detailed mechanism of dynamical spin injection in CoFeB/Pt bilayer films has been investigated. We demonstrate the proper evaluation of the CoFeB thickness dependence of inverse spin Hall voltage by subtracting the signal from single CoFeB system. The dynamical spin injection and FMR heating effect were observed to significantly depend on thickness. Additionally, we separated the contributions of SSE and SdSE by focusing on their diffusion properties and found that SSE is larger than SdSE in the CoFeB/Pt bilayer film.
