We present a study of the dc-voltage generation by the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) and the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) in permalloy/normal metal bilayers at ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). We use a coplanar waveguide (CPW) structure implementing different excitation geometries. At FMR spin currents with a small dc-component are injected into the normal metal layer due to the spin pumping effect. Measurements of permalloy/platinum and permalloy/gold show that the ISHE and the AMR effect can only be separated for certain conditions. Furthermore, we point out that a conductive layer (e.g. Pt, Au) attached to the permalloy layer generates a significant additional Oersted field in experiments using a CPW. Our study provides a robust experimental basis in the quest for materials showing a large spin Hall angle. We present a reliable determination of spin Hall angles for platinum and gold and a study of ISHE in tantalum, tungsten and metal alloys such as copper-bismuth. Moreover, the contributions to voltages measured at FMR have been studied as a function of temperature and the results are compared to theoretical models.
