The spin Hall angle of Pt in Co{sub 75}Fe{sub 25}/Pt bilayer films was experimentally investigated by means of the spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance and the modulation of damping measurements. By comparing the present results with the Ni{sub 80}Fe{sub 20}/Pt system, we found that the ferromagnetic layer underneath the Pt one greatly affects the estimation of the spin Hall angle. We also discuss the spin diffusion length of Pt and the ferromagnetic thickness dependence of the Gilbert damping coefficient.
