SHE and spin-swapping contribute to all the bilayers and SHE dominates in Pt and Re whereas spin-swapping influences in Cu and Ru. As a function of disorder, spin swapping is large for Cu/Py and Pt/Py bilayers grown on Al2O3 substrates whereas SHE is relatively significant when the same structures are grown on Si/SiO2 substrates. Note that the value of \({\tau }_{{{{{{\rm{y}}}}}},{{{{{\rm{AD}}}}}}}\)/\({\tau }_{{{{{{\rm{z}}}}}},{{{{{\rm{AD}}}}}}}\) and \({\tau }_{{{{{{\rm{y}}}}}},{{{{{\rm{AD}}}}}}}\)/\({\tau }_{{{{{{\rm{z}}}}}},{{{{{\rm{FL}}}}}}}\) for Al2O3/Cu/Py structure is multiplied by 10 for better visibility compared to other data points. All the data presented in this figure are measured on 0° device.
