Abstract
Spintronics presents an opportunity for the next generation of low-power electronics, overcoming the scaling and power issues faced by existing CMOS technologies. The non-local spin valve offers a relatively simple, versatile means to study spin transport in various materials (including metals, superconductors, semiconductors and 2D materials), owing primarily to its ability to isolate spin transport–related effects. Yet, many questions remain unanswered, namely identifying and characterising the spin-relaxation mechanisms present in such devices, and understanding the origin of spurious effects. This thesis aims to address these issues through systematic studies in all-metallic non-local spin valves across a selection of material pairings, temperatures and magnetic fields.
