Self-consistent determination of spin Hall angle and spin diffusion length in Pt and Pd: The role of the interface spin loss.

The article focuses on a self-consistent method for the spin-charge conversion for Pt and Pd with various ferromagnetic (FM) pumping sources including microwave photoresistance, inverse spin Hall effect measurements and effective spin-mixing conductance. It refers to an interfacial spin loss (ISL) in the spin current whose magnitude varies for different interfaces.
