Spin-transfer torques generated by strained 3D HgTe TI — •Graciely Santos, Simon Hartinger, Christian Jünger, Erwann Bocquillon, Charles Gould, and Laurens Molenkamp — Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Würzburg - Germany

Strained bulk HgTe is a well known topological insulator (3D TI) showing the coexistence of an insulating bulk with metallic Dirac surface states presenting intrinsic spin-momentum locking. By applying an electric current through the surface states of a 3D TI, a spin-polarized current can be generated allowing transfer of angular momentum to an adjacent ferromagnetic layer. Preliminary spin-pumping ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements on the HgTe 3D TI coupled to a ferromagnet island showed a background contribution in the measured voltages. In this work we report on spin-transfer torque ferromagnetic resonance (STT-FMR) measurements in order to better understand the previous results in this system.
