In the research field of spin caloric transport one of most the prominent and still not understood effects is the spin-Seebeck effect (SSE) in magnetic insulators [1]. Many explanations consider thermally excited magnons as the underling mechanism, for which direct evidence is missing so far. We present a systematic study of the SSE in Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) films of different thicknesses. From the thickness dependence of the measured inverse spin Hall effect we can unambiguously identify the SSE effect . Corresponding simulations on atomistic length scales allow us to deduce the propagation length of the thermally excited magnons, which could be used to manipulate domain walls [2]. [1] K.
