报告摘要：

A magnetoresistance effect induced by the Rashba spin-orbit interaction was predicted, but not yet observed, in bilayers consisting of normal metal and ferromagnetic insulator [PRB 90, 161412(R) (2014)]. Here, we present an experimental observation of this new type of spin-orbit magnetoresistance (SOMR) effect in a bilayer structure Cu[Pt]/Y3Fe5O12 (YIG), where the Cu/YIG interface is decorated with nanosize Pt islands. This SOMR disappears when the Pt islands are absent or located away from the Cu/YIG interface, therefore we can unambiguously ascribe it to the Rashba spin-orbit interaction at the interface enhanced by the Pt decoration. The numerical Boltzmann simulations are consistent with the experimental SOMR results. Our finding demonstrates the realization of the spin manipulation by interface engineering. In second part of my talk, I will discuss the physical origin of a dc voltage generation in a bilayer of a conducting polymer film and a micrometer-thick magnetic insulator YIG film under the ferromagnetic resonance and/or spin-wave excitation condition. The previous attributed mechanism, the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) in the polymer [Nat. Mater. 12, 622 (2013)], is excluded by systematically study. We argue that the dc voltage is governed by the Seebeck effect in the polymer, where the temperature gradient is created by the nonreciprocal magnetostatic surface spin wave propagation in YIG.
