In this letter, we report an investigation of the IREE in Bi/Ag by using ferrimagnetic insulator yttrium iron garnet (YIG). We prepared two types of samples with opposite directions of the Rashba field by changing a stacking order of Bi and Ag. An electric current generated by the IREE was observed from both stacks, and an efficiency of spin conversion -characterized by the IREE length- was estimated by taking into account a number of contributions left out in previous studies. This study provides a further insight into the IREE spin conversion mechanism: important step towards achieving efficient spin-charge conversion devices.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-02-03T02:09:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "inverse rashba-edelstein effect", "quantitative investigation", "spin conversion mechanism", "ferrimagnetic insulator yttrium iron garnet", "achieving efficient spin-charge conversion devices" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
