The precession of magnetization in a ferromagnet (FM) can transmit pure spin current into an adjacent heavy metal (HM) via spin pumping. This pure spin current gets converted to charge current due to high spin orbit coupling (SOC) of the HM due to the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE). I will discuss recent ISHE results on Co2Fe0.4Mn0.6Si/Pt bilayers, where Co2Fe0.4Mn0.6Si is a full Heusler alloy. Damping analysis indicates the presence of significant spin pumping at the interface of Co2Fe0.4Mn0.6Si and Pt [1]. I will also discuss ISHE experiments on some other combinations such as CoFeB/IrO2 and manganite based La0.66Sr0.34MnO3/Pt bilayers. [2-3] Recently AFM materials having high SOC have been found to be a good replacement of HM in spin current based study. We have performed the ISHE study of CoFeB (10 nm)/ AFM (d nm) where we considered various AFM such as Mn2Au, IrMn, Mn3Ga etc. The systematic angle dependent ISHE measurements have been carried out to disentangle the different spin rectification effects viz. anisotropic magnetoresistance and anomalous Hall effect [4 – 6]. Further I will show the ISHE study on topological insulator (TI)/ferromagnetic Bi2Se3/CoFeB films [7,8]. ISHE experiments have also been performed to demonstrate that TIs are potential candidates to replace HM as they possess high spin-orbit coupling.
