Large spin Hall angle in vanadium film

Abstract We report a large spin Hall angle observed in vanadium films sputter-grown at room temperature, which have small grain size and consist of a mixture of body centered tetragonal (bct) and body centered cubic (bcc) structures. The spin Hall angle is as large as θ V  = −0.071 ± 0.003, comparab...
