Abstract
The authors report on the direct electronic measurement of a large spin Hall effect and its inverse phenomenon due to an efficient charge-to-spin conversion process in Weyl semimetal candidate WTe2 at room temperature. These findings can pave the way for its utilization in spintronics and quantum technologies.
