Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 087204 (2020) Non-collinear antiferromagnets can have additional spin Hall effects due to
the net chirality of their magnetic spin structure, which provides for more
complex spin-transport phenomena compared to ordinary non-magnetic materials.
Here we investigated how ferromagnetic resonance of permalloy
($Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$) is modulated by spin Hall effects in adjacent epitaxial
$IrMn_{3}$ films. We observe a large dc modulation of the ferromagnetic
resonance linewidth for currents applied along the [001] $IrMn_{3}$ direction.
This very strong angular dependence of spin-orbit torques from dc currents
through the bilayers can be explained by the magnetic spin Hall effect where
$IrMn_{3}$ provides novel pathways for modulating magnetization dynamics
electrically.
