Abstract

Nonlocal spin transport using lateral structures is attractive for spintronic devices. Typically, a spin current is generated by a ferromagnetic (FM) or a heavy metal (HM) electrode in a nonlocal structure, which can be detected by another FM or HM electrode. Here, we report a new nonlocal spin injection scheme using uniform-mode ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spin pumping in Pt/Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) lateral structures. This scheme is enabled by well-separated resonant fields of Pt/YIG and bare YIG due to substantial change of anisotropy in YIG films induced by a Pt overlayer, allowing for clearly distinguishable local and nonlocal spin pumping. Our results show that the spin decay length of nonlocal uniform-mode spin pumping in 20 nm YIG films is 2.1 μm at room temperature.
