Terahertz (THz) spin‐to‐charge conversion has become an increasingly important process for THz pulse generation and as a tool to probe ultrafast spin interactions at magnetic interfaces. However, its relation to traditional, steady state, ferromagnetic resonance techniques is poorly understood. Here, nanometric trilayers of Co/X/Pt (X = Ti, Au or an Au:W alloy) are investigated as a function of the “X” layer thickness, where THz emission generated by the inverse spin Hall effect is compared to…
