Thickness dependence of spin Peltier effect visualized by thermal imaging technique

Magnon propagation length in a ferrimagnetic insulator yttrium iron garnet (YIG) has been investigated by measuring and analyzing the YIG-thickness t_YIG dependence of the spin Peltier effect (SPE) in a Pt/YIG junction system. By means of the lock-in thermography technique, we measured the spatial distribution of the SPE-induced temperature modulation in the Pt/YIG system with the t_YIG gradation, allowing us to obtain the accurate t_YIG dependence of SPE with high t_YIG resolution. Based on the t_YIG dependence of SPE, we verified the applicability of several phenomenological models to estimate the magnon diffusion length in YIG.

Snell's law for spin waves at a 90-degree domain wall

We report experimental observation of the refraction and re ection of propagating magnetostatic spin waves crossing a 90-degree domain wall (DW) in terms of time-resolved magneto-optical imaging. Due to the magnetization rotation across the 90-degree DW, the dispersion relation of magnetostatic spin waves rotates by 90 degrees, which results in the change in the propagation dynamics of spin waves in both sides of the DW. We observe the refraction and re ection of magnetosatatc spin waves at the 90-degree DW, and reveal their characteristics, such as negative refraction. The incident-angle dependence of the refraction angle is explained by the wavenumber conservation along the DW, same as the case of Snell's law for light.
