A linear dependence of the spin diffusion length with conductivity of Py is observed, evidencing that Elliott-Yafet is the dominant spin relaxation mechanism in Permalloy. Completing the data set with additional data found in literature, we obtain $\\lambda_{Py}= (0.91\\pm 0.04) (f\\Omega m^2)/\\rho_{Py}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-04-03T11:24:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spin diffusion length", "lateral spin valves", "dominant spin relaxation mechanism", "spin absorption technique", "linear dependence" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
