Spin-orbit torques (SOTs) can be used for efficient control of magnetization and the electrical detection of spin dynamics through the inverse spin Hall effect (iSHE) [1]. We investigate spin-to-charge conversion in ferromagnetic heterostructures based on perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) multilayers of [Co/Ni] and [Co/Pt] that generate SOTs in adjacent CoFeB thin films with in-plane magnetic anisotropy (IPA). We extract the spin dynamics and SOTs [2] using vector network analyzer ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy (VNA-FMR). In our experiments, we found that our multilayers generate SOTs comparable in magnitude to Pt, in agreement with first-principles calculations. Additionally, we observed a pronounced dependence of the SOT on the IPA CoFeB layer thickness.
