Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG)/heavy metal bilayers have attracted considerable interest in the field of spintronics due to the possibility of inducing spin currents by magnon excitation and vice versa. In this work, we report on current-induced effects that arise from the interplay of the magnetization in YIG and spin currents generated in Pt. YIG thin films have been prepared by pulsed laser deposition on Gadolinium Gallium Garnet (GGG) substrates followed by in-situ sputtering of 6 nm-thick Pt. We present results on the harmonic analysis of current-induced spin-orbit torques in YIG films of variable thickness.
