We demonstrate the spatial mapping of the spin pumping from a magnetic insulator, yttrium iron garnet (YIG), using the inverse spin Hall effect. The inverse spin Hall effect in thin Pt wires placed on a YIG film enables local detection of the spin-current emission from the insulator, revealing spatially nonuniform spin pumping at various microwave excitation frequencies. We found that the spatial variation of the spin pumping is sensitive to the wavelength of the magnons responsible for the spin pumping as well as the thickness of the magnetic insulator. These findings provide an important information for studying spintronic phenomena in metal/insulator bilayers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
