  We present a simple technique using a cavity-based resonance spectrometer to
quantify the anti-damping torque due to the spin Hall effect. Modification of
ferromagnetic resonance is observed as a function of small DC current in
sub-mm-wide strips of bilayers, consisting of magnetically soft FeGaB and
strong spin-Hall metal Ta. From the detected current-induced linewidth change,
we obtain an effective spin Hall angle of 0.08-0.09 independent of the magnetic
layer thickness. Our results demonstrate that a sensitive resonance
spectrometer can be a general tool to investigate spin Hall effects in various
material systems, even those with vanishingly low conductivity and
magnetoresistance.
