Spin-orbit interaction (SOI) is expected to be of central importance in future spin-based electronics (spintronics) as it permits, for example, the conversion of charge into spin currents. It is highly interesting to study SOI-based effects at terahertz (THz) frequencies because (i) spintronic devices should eventually operate at THz rates and since (ii) the THz photon energy (4 meV at 1 THz) is comparable to the SOI energy in magnetically ordered solids. Here, we employ broadband THz time-domain ellipsometry [1] to measure the complex conductivity tensor of various magnetic metals from 1 to 40 THz. Supported by ab initio calculations [2], we discuss spectral features of the spin Hall angle in terms of SOI.
