Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

We investigate the spin Hall effect of W-Hf thin films, which exhibit a phase transition from a segregated phase mixture to an amorphous alloy below 70% W. The spin Hall angle was determined with a planar harmonic Hall voltage technique. Due to the accompanying jump in resistivity, the spin Hall angle shows a pronounced maximum at the composition of the phase transition. The spin Hall conductivity does, however, reduce from W to Hf with a weak discontinuity across the phase transition. The maximum spin Hall angle of θSH=−0.20 is obtained for amorphous W0.7Hf0.3. A detailed comparison with spin Hall conductivities calculated from first principles for hcp, fcc, and bcc solid solutions provides valuable insight into the alloying physics of this binary system.
