We present a comprehensive study of the temperature (T ) dependence of the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (LSSE) in Pt/EuO 1−x and Pt/La 2 NiMnO 6 (LNMO) hybrid structures across their Curie temperatures (T c ). Both systems host ferromagnetic interaction below T c , hence present optimal conditions for testing magnon spin current based theories against ferri magnetic YIG. Notably, we observe an anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) generated voltage in bare EuO 1−x , however, we find LSSE predominates the thermal signals in the bilayers with Pt. The T -dependence of the LSSE in small T -range near T c could be fitted to a power law of the form (T c − T ) P . The derived critical exponent, P, was verified for different methods of LSSE representation and sample crystallinity. The results are explained based on the magnon-driven thermal spin pumping mechanism that relate the T -dependence of LSSE to the spin mixing conductance (G mix ) at the heavy metal/ferromagnet (HM/FM) interface, which in turn is known to vary in accordance with the square of the spontaneous magnetization (M s ). Additionally, the T -dependence of the real part of G mix derived from spin Hall magnetoresistance measurements at different temperatures for the Pt/LNMO structure, further establish the interdependence.
