The efficient conversion of spin into charge currents by spin-orbit interaction (SOI) will be important for future spin-based electronics [1]. Recently, much effort has been devoted to the identification of new large-SOI materials. One promising material is β-tungsten, for which large spin Hall angles (SHA) have been reported [2]. In our experiments, we employ femtosecond optical pulses to trigger ultrafast spin transport in magnetic thin-film stacks. Due to SOI, this spin current is partially converted into a transverse charge current which is monitored by detecting the concomitantly emitted THz electromagnetic radiation [3,4]. In particular, we study THz emission from bilayers of cobalt-iron-boron (CoFeB) and β-tungsten with varying oxygen concentration and bilayers of CoFeB and AuxPt1−x alloys. By additionally measuring the THz conductivity of these films, we can separate the influence of the spin Hall conductivity and the longitudinal conductivity to the SHA.
