By fitting the results to the one-dimensional diffusion equation,8.6% spin polarization of the Co/Ag interface and -180 nm spin diffusion length in Ag are obtained.Thermal treatment results show that the spin accumulation signal drastically decreases after 100℃ annealing, and disappears under 200℃ annealing. Our results demonstrate that, compared to the spin diffusion length, the decrease and the disappearance of the spin accumulation signal are mainly dominated by the variation of the interfacial spin polarization of the Co/Ag interface.展开更多

Non-local lateral spin valves measurement was carried out to determin, the apin accumulignal in Ag strip, and the spin dif u^sion - length in Ag of the lateral spin valves was extracted from devices with the different distances between injector and detector. The experimental results are found that spin accumulation and spin diffusion length （2s） could be significantly enhanced in Ag strip with MgO capping layer, and those effects may be attributed to the low-surface spin scattering rate in Ag with an MgO cap- ping layer.展开更多
