Spin-orbit torques (SOTs) can be used to electrically control the spin dynamics, while inverse SOTs enable the electrical detection of spin dynamics. Here, based on theoretical predictions [1], we study the spin-to-charge conversion in ferromagnetic materials with high spin-orbit interaction. In particular, we chose the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) multilayers CoNi and CoPt. We investigate the spin dynamics and SOTs of corresponding purely metallic ferromagnetic thin film in-plane anisotropy (IPA) / PMA hybrid systems using an inductive technique based on vector network analysis [2].
We observe substantial damping-like SOTs generated in the PMA layers. The SOTs in CoNi/Cu/CoFeB are comparable to those observed in Pt/CoFeB [3] and Pt/NiFe [4] heterostructures using the same technique and similar layer thicknesses.
