Spin-to-charge conversion (SCC) experiments at room temperature were carried out using the spin pumping technique in a ferromagnetic metal Fe (4 nm) / topological Dirac semimetal α-Sn (30 nm) / InSb(001) system grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The Fe thin film shows ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) when applying an X-band RF magnetic field and an external in-plane magnetic field. We observed enhancement of Gilbert’s damping constant in the Fe / α-Sn systems, indicating successful spin injection into the α-Sn layer. A voltage peak was detected between the two edges of the α-Sn at the FMR condition, which is likely induced by a successful spin-charge conversion. An inverse Edelstein length, a measure for SCC efficiency in 2D systems, is estimated to be 1.0-1.3 nm, which is of the same order compared to the largest value reported at room temperature. The results show that TDS α-Sn is a promising material for future spintronics applications.
