The T-shaped spin conversion device consisting of ferromagnetic and spin Hall (or spin conversion) materials is an indispensable component in a new type of logic circuit called a magnetoelectric spin–orbit device. We examine the influence of the planar Hall effect (PHE) on the output signal in the T-shaped device. Angular dependences of decomposed even and odd components in the signal reveal that the PHE causes an even-symmetric component in the output signal because the magnetic moment continuously rotates clockwise (or counterclockwise). Thus, the PHE makes it challenging to detect odd magnetic field responses induced by the inverse spin Hall effect containing the zero-field magnetic state information. We can suppress the adverse effect by choosing a low anisotropic magnetoresistance ferromagnet. This study gives valuable information for designing the optimal T-shaped structure for the magnetoelectric logic device application.

In general, the transverse resistivity due to the PHE is written as , where shows the longitudinal resistivity when the magnetization is parallel (perpendicular) to the applied current. Therefore, the transverse resistance in a single ferromagnetic layer is expressed as follows: . Here, and shows the thickness, width, and length of ferromagnet, respectively. In the bilayer of the T-shaped device, we finaly get Eq. (2) by multiplying the by the shunting factor with the resistance of FM (NM), , on condition that and . AMR ratio shows .

Our Py and CoFe wires could form multidomain structures at a small applied field because of the sample size larger than domain wall width and the effect of the demagnetization field at the wire edge. The previous calculation revealed that the PHE response becomes smooth but the symmetric property and PHE sign did not change in the multidomain strucutures compared with the single domain.20
