The spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) is a powerful tool to investigate a variety of magnetic systems. Previous experiments mainly focused on materials with d moments. d orbitals are usually the outermost magnetic electron shells and thus can overlap with the electron shells of neighbouring ions or atoms resulting in strong interactions. However, the interactions are considered to be weaker in magnetic materials with 4f moments due to the strong localization and screening of the 4f electrons. We measure the magnetoresistive response (MR) in GdN/Pt and EuS/Pt heterostructures to investigate the coupling between 4f moments and a spin accumulation. The GdN/Pt heterostructure exhibits a clear MR with a symmetry characteristic for SMR. In contrast, although having a similar magnetic response the EuS/Pt heterostructure exhibits a much smaller MR. We discuss the possible origin of the MR in both heterostructures in view of the presences or absence of d electron levels near the Fermi energy.
