Abstract

Spin injection and detection in Co60Fe40-based all-metallic lateral spin valves have been studied at both room and low temperatures. The obtained spin signals amplitudes have been compared to those of identical Ni80Fe20-based devices. The replacement of Ni80Fe20 by CoFe allows increasing the spin signal amplitude by up to one order of magnitude, thus reaching 50 mΩ at room temperature. The spin signal dependence with the distance between the ferromagnetic electrodes has been analyzed using both a 1D spin-transport model and finite element method simulations. The enhancement of the spin signal amplitude when using CoFe electrodes can be explained by a higher effective polarization.
