الوصف: Effective spin mixing conductance (ESMC) across the nonmagnetic metal (NM)/ferromagnet interface, spin Hall conductivity (SHC) and spin diffusion length (SDL) in the NM layer govern the functionality and performance of pure spin current devices with spin pumping technique. We show that all three parameters can be tuned significantly by the spin orbit coupling (SOC) strength of the NM layer in systems consisting of ferromagnetic insulating Y3Fe5O12 layer and metallic Pd1-xPtx layer. Surprisingly, the ESMC is observed to increase significantly with x changing from 0 to 1.0. The SHC in PdPt alloys, dominated by the intrinsic term, is enhanced notably with increasing x. Meanwhile, the SDL is found to decrease when Pd atoms are replaced by heavier Pt atoms, validating the SOC induced spin flip scattering model in polyvalent PdPt alloys. The capabilities of both spin current generation and spin charge conversion are largely heightened via the SOC. These findings highlight the multifold tuning effects of the SOC in developing the new generation of spintronic devices.
