The spin current generation via spin pumping is a prominent method for the establishment of potential spin-current-generating devices. An indirect detection of this effect is provided by measuring the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) voltage. Various experiments have been performed in order to probe the interface properties of such bilayer systems by inserting different insulating interlayers at the FM–NM interface. Some examples are Py/MgO/Pt, Y5Fe5O12/insulating barrier (Sr2GaTaO6,SrTiO3, Sr2CrNbO6)/Pt structures and Fe/MgO/Pt. In our previous work on Fe/MgO/Pt we have shown the impact of an MgO tunneling barrier on the spin-pumping effect: spin currents are still inducing an ISHE voltage for very thin MgO tunneling barriers. Here, we reveal the impact of nanosized Fe3O4 particles at the interface of thin epitaxial Fe(12 nm)/Pt(10 nm) layers.
We show that Fe3O4 nanoparticles at the Fe/Pt interface significantly increase the fourfold anisotropy compared to a pure Fe/Al reference. In FMR and spin-pumping experiments a very broad linewidth of the FMR peak is revealed. The voltage generated by spin pumping is steadily detectable over a wide external magnetic field range ΔH.
