Research Abstract |
We detected inverse spin Hall effect of 5d transition-metal oxide IrO_2. Its spin Hall resistivity, defined as conversion efficiency from spin current to voltage, is about as ten times as the value of Pt, indicating that spin-orbit interaction is dominant in transport properties of 5d transition-metal oxides. The result demonstrates that these oxides are promising materials as a spin-current detector. We also found that artificial superlattices consisting of SrIrO_3 and SrTiO_3 belong to a novel type of a Mott insulator. We clarified that cooperation between electron correlation and spin-orbit interaction is affected by controlled dimensionality.
