Inverse Spin Hall Effect in nanometer-thick YIG/Pt system

TLDR
Inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) detection of propagating spin waves using Pt. as discussed by the authors has been shown to correlate well with the increase of the Gilbert damping when decreasing thickness of YIG.
Abstract
High quality nanometer-thick (20 nm, 7 nm and 4 nm) epitaxial YIG films have been grown on GGG substrates using pulsed laser deposition. The Gilbert damping coefficient for the 20 nm thick films is 2.3 x 10-4 which is the lowest value reported for sub-micrometric thick films. We demonstrate Inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) detection of propagating spin waves using Pt. The amplitude and the lineshape of the ISHE voltage correlate well to the increase of the Gilbert damping when decreasing thickness of YIG. Spin Hall effect based loss-compensation experiments have been conducted but no change in the magnetization dynamics could be detected.

Spin Hall Effect

TL;DR: In this paper, it is proposed that when a charge current circulates in a paramagnetic metal, a transverse spin imbalance will be generated, giving rise to a spin Hall voltage, in the absence of charge current and magnetic field.

Conversion of spin current into charge current at room temperature: Inverse spin-Hall effect

TL;DR: In this article, a pure spin current was injected into a Pt thin film using spin pumping, and it was observed to generate electromotive force transverse to the spin current, consistent with the spin-Hall effect.

Transmission of electrical signals by spin-wave interconversion in a magnetic insulator

TL;DR: It is shown that a spin wave in an insulator can be generated and detected using spin-Hall effects, which enable the direct conversion of an electric signal into aspin wave, and its subsequent transmission through (and recovery from) an insulators over macroscopic distances.
