Abstract

The temperature and yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) thickness dependences of the spin Peltier effect (SPE) have been investigated using a Pt/YIG junction system at temperatures ranging from room temperature to the Curie temperature of YIG by the lock-in thermography method. By analyzing the YIG thickness dependence using an exponential decay model, the characteristic length of SPE in YIG is estimated to be 0.9 μ\mum near room temperature and almost constant even near the Curie temperature. The high-temperature behavior of SPE is clearly different from that of the spin Seebeck effect, providing a clue for microscopically understanding the reciprocal relation between them.
