contents We investigate the spin Hall conductivity (SHC) of a composition series of a Ta-Re bcc solid solution. At approximately 60 at.% Ta the Ta-Re alloy features an SHC similar to bcc-W, while both endpoints of the compositional series have rather moderate SHC. The intermediate stoichiometries exhibit a substantial enhancement due to Fermi level tuning through the same band structure feature which gives bcc-W and $β$-W its large SHC. We provide experimental evidence for the enhancement of the SHC in the alloy via THz emission upon ultrafast laser excitation of Ta-Re/CoFeB bilayers. We demonstrate that a rigid band model derived from bcc-W and Fermi level tuning describes the experimental data with a similar accuracy as coherent potential approximation alloy calculations of the SHC.
