Distinguishing spin pumping from spin rectification in a Pt/Py bilayer through angle dependent line shape analysis

A pure spin current driven by spin pumping is converted to a DC voltage and detected electrically in a Py/Pt bilayer sample. This DC voltage mixes with a DC voltage produced through spin rectification. The ferromagnetic resonance line shape strongly depends on the microwave magnetic h field distribution. We have systematically studied the line shapes by changing the external magnetic field orientation in plane of a Pt/Py bilayer. A method is demonstrated which allows us to calculate the microwave h field vector distribution, and distinguish spin pumping from spin rectification.
