Investigation of the unidirectional spin heat conveyer effect in a 200 nm thin Yttrium Iron Garnet film

We have investigated the unidirectional spin wave heat conveyer effect in sub-micron thick yttrium iron garnet (YIG) films using lock-in thermography (LIT). Although the effect is small in thin layers this technique allows us to observe asymmetric heat transport by magnons which leads to asymmetric...
