A magnetic insulator is an ideal platform to propagate spin information by exploiting magnon currents. However, until now, most studies have focused on Y$_3$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$ (YIG) and a few other ferri- and antiferromagnetic insulators, but…

The irreversible thermodynamics of a continuous medium with magnetic dipoles predicts that a temperature gradient in the presence of magnetisation waves induces a magnetic induction field, which is the magnetic analog of the Seebeck effect.…

We probe the spin Seebeck effect in Gd$_{3}$Fe$_{5}$O$_{12}$/Pt hybrid structures as a function of temperature and observe two sign changes of the spin Seebeck signal with decreasing temperature. A first sign change occurs at a temperature…
