Non-local long range spin transport phenomena in yttrium iron garnet/Pt heterostructures recently attracted a lot of interest. The experiments are commonly interpreted in terms of magnon diffusion in combination with spin Hall physics[1]. In this study, we first reproduce the fingerprint of the non-local magnetoresistance reported in literature by rotations of the magnetic field in three mutually orthogonal planes and current dependent experiments. After characterization we use a focused ion beam (FIB) to alter the shape of the yttrium iron garnet film in between the Pt contacts and study the ensuing changes in the non-local transport properties. Our results corroborate that magnon transport indeed is the main mechanism for the non-local transport.
