The magnetoelastic interaction between surface acoustic waves (SAWs) and spin waves (SWs) has attracted considerable attention in recent years. Magnetoelastic excitation of SWs is particularly promising in low-damping ferrimagnets such as yttrium iron garnet (YIG). Electri cal excitation of SAWs necessitates a piezoelectric layer, such as ZnO [1]. Here, we investigate magnetoelastic interactions in a heterostruc ture consisting of a YIG/GGG bilayer coated with a piezoelectric AlScN thin film. The coupling between SAWs and SWs is characterized using micro-focused Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectroscopy and vector network analyzer (VNA) measurements. In addition, the ob served magnetoelastic interaction is benchmarked against the coupling in the more established ZnO/YIG/GGG heterostructure. [1] Ryburn et al., Phys. Rev. Appl. 23, 034062 (2025)
