Abstract

Spin pumping by traveling magnetostatic surface waves (MSSW) has been experimentally investigated in YIG|Pt structures made on the basis of 0.9, 4, 8, 14 and 18 µm thick YIG epitaxial films. It is found that at frequencies corresponding to the van Hove singularities in the density of states of the MSSW spectrum of the structure, the EMF value generated due to the inverse spin Hall effect increases. This increase is associated with an increase in the spin mixing conductance of the YIG|Pt interface due to an increase in the efficiency of electron-magnon scattering at the frequencies of van Hove singularities in the spin wave spectrum.
