Popis:	Topological semimetals (TSs) are promising candidates for low-power spin-orbit torque (SOT) devices due to their large charge-to-spin conversion efficiency. Here, we investigated the charge-to-spin conversion efficiency of amorphous PtSn4 (5 nm)/CoFeB (2.5-12.5 nm) layered structures prepared by a magnetron sputtering method at room temperature. The charge-to-spin ratio of PtSn4/CoFeB bilayers was 0.08, characterized by a spin torque ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR) technique. This ratio can further increase to 0.14 by inducing dopants, like Al and CoSi, into PtSn4. The dopants can also decrease (Al doping) or increase (CoSi doping) the resistivity of PtSn4. The work proposed a way to enhance the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in amorphous TSs with dopants. Comment: 18 pages, 5 figures
