A sample with the spin Hall effect causes spin-orbit coupling to induce spin-polarized electrons that accumulate inverse signals on either side of the sample. In this study, a multiterminal device was fabricated using a tantalum Hall bar and a spin injector of the permalloy nanowire to detect inverse Hall effect signals. This device can read the different spin Hall signals emitted from the magnetic state of the permalloy wire. Our results reveal that the different magnetic states of the permalloy wire cause an asymmetric shift of the inverse spin Hall voltage and also display various signals at opposite directions of currents. As the input current increases, the voltage also exhibits nonlinear growth. This indicates that the inverse spin Hall signals are affected by the magnetic state of the permalloy wire and the input current direction. This also indicates that the inverse spin Hall signals from the multiterminal device can inspire the design of the sensor for detecting spin electrons and neuron-like magnetization states.
