| Abstract | |
In this paper, spin-to-charge current conversion properties in the Weyl semimetal TaP by means of the inverse Rashba-Edelstein effect (IREE) with the interfacial integration of this quantum material with the ferromagnetic metal Permalloy (Py = Ni81Fe19) are presented. The spin currents are generated in the Py layer by the spin pumping effect (SPE) from microwave-driven ferromagnetic resonance and are detected by a dc voltage along the TaP crystal, at room temperature. A field-symmetric voltage signal is observed without the contamination of asymmetrical lines due to spin rectification effects observed in studies using metallic ferromagnets. The observed voltage is attributed to spin-to-charge current conversion based on the IREE, made possible by the spin-orbit coupling induced intrinsically by the bulk band structure of Weyl semimetals. The measured IREE coefficient lambda(IREE) = (0.30 +/- 0.01) nm is two orders of magnitude larger than in graphene and is comparable to or larger than the values reported for some metallic interfaces and for several topological insulators.
