(a) The IrMn(8)/NiFe(8)/Cu(4)/YIG(100)/GGG in-plane hysteresis loop by sweeping a magnetic field along the easy magnetization axis of NiFe. Panels (b) and (c) show the magnetization direction dependence of the SSE voltages for the sample of IrMn(8)/NiFe(8)/Cu(4)/YIG(100)/GGG with rotatable magnetic fields of 35 Oe and 1000 Oe, respectively.
