Magneto-optic detection of spin Seebeck effect in Au/YIG and Cu/YIG bilayers at picosecond time scaleJohannes Kimling1, Gyung-Min Choi2, Jack T.

A temperature gradient perpendicular to the plane of Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) / Pt bilayers drives an out-of-plane spin current in the YIG and at the YIG/Pt interface (longitudinal spin Seebeck effect), which is injected into the Pt. The inverse spin Hall effect in Pt converts the spin current into a transverse charge current and, thus, a charge voltage can be measured. However, a magnetic proximity effect (MPE) in Pt can occur, that allows for the anomalous Nernst effect, which has the same symmetry as the LSSE and, therefore, can contribute to the measured voltage as a parasitic side effect. To detect the LSSE without any MPE side effects, additional techniques such as magneto-optic means can be applied. Here, we present LSSE measurements using the time-resolved magneto-optic Kerr effect. Our results indicate angular-momentum transfer across YIG/Cu and YIG/Au interfaces on a picosecond time scale [1].
