abstract = {For the generation and detection of pure spin currents via
the (inverse) spin Hall effect, a combination of a
non-ferromagnetic metal and an insulating magnet is
required. In this context platinum (Pt) thin films grown on
yttrium iron garnet (Y3Fe5O12, YIG) serve as prototype
structures [1-3]. Recently, the influence of the Pt/YIG
interface quality on the spin Hall effect came into focus
and the importance of improving the surface quality of YIG
was discussed [4-6].We present a systematic study of Pt thin
film growth on YIG single crystals correlating the interface
quality of the Pt/YIG bilayers to spin Hall
magnetoresistance (SMR) measurements. Prior to the Pt
deposition, which was carried out by thermal evaporation
under UHV conditions, YIG crystals were exposed to different
surface treatments. The sample quality was controlled
in-situ by Auger-electron- spectroscopy, reflection high/low
energy electron diffraction as well as ex-situ by X- ray
reflectivity and atomic force microscopy.Best Pt thin films
were achieved using YIG crystals treated with Piranha
solution followed by annealing in oxygen prior to the thin
film growth. In these samples a SMR value of about 4·10-4
was achieved, which is close to the SMR effect of respective
Pt/YIG samples with in-situ interfaces [3]. Growing Pt thin
films at higher temperature increases the thin film
roughness as well as the interdiffusion of Pt and YIG.
However, by utilizing X-ray magnetic circular dichroism, no
induced magnetic moment could be detected neither in Pt thin
films on YIG substrates fabricated at room temperature nor
at 500°C. This result is in agreement with earlier
measurements on Pt/YIG thin films [7].References[1] H.
