Quantitative understanding of direct and inverse spin-orbit torques (SOT) in ferromagnet/normal metal bilayers is required to develop novel and efficient spintronic devices. Established methods to quantify SOTs require patterning and/or impedance matching. Here, we use a novel, contactless inductive measurement technique to quantify the SOTs in different normal metal/ferromagnet bilayer systems at room temperature and microwave frequencies using a coplanar waveguide (CPW) and a vector network analyzer [1]. This method is based on the broadband ferromagnetic resonance technique and utilizes that the CPW detects any source of AC magnetic flux. The phase-sensitive method can distinguish between field- and damping-like SOTs. We study SOTs in thin film bilayers consisting of the ferromagnet CoFeB and varying binary alloys of TaAu and AuPt as well as W with varied degree of oxidation. [1] A.
