Abstract
We investigate magnetization dynamics and spin-charge conversion in heterostructures using broadband, temperature-resolved ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy and inverse spin-Hall effect (ISHE) measurements over the 20–290 K range. A Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert-based model simultaneously fits the temperature-dependent effective Gilbert damping and the ISHE voltage, yielding the spin-Hall angle . We find that remains nearly constant () at approximately 120–130 K. Above this temperature, and decouple: the voltage drops while the damping increases, indicating that parasitic spin-rectification and a slight temperature drift of intrinsic NiFe damping dominate the signal and obscure direct spin-charge conversion. These results establish as a robust platform for low-temperature spintronics and define the thermal boundaries above which secondary voltage contributions must be carefully managed.
