Near-Unity Spin Hall Ratio in Ni$_x$Cu$_{1-x}$ Alloys

Author(s)
Mark W. Keller, Katy Gerace, Monika Arora, Justin M. Shaw, Thomas J. Silva
We report a large spin Hall effect in the 3$d$ transition metal alloy Ni$_x$Cu$_{1-x}$ for $x \in \{ 0.3,0.75\} $, detected via the ferromagnetic resonance of a
