Abstract

We present an alternative measurement technique for the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (SSE), based on harmonic analysis of the signal measured in the Y3Fe5O12/Pt bilayer. In our experimental setup, we use a harmonic magnetic field and a static thermal gradient in the longitudinal configuration to induce a square-wave SSE signal. By using a phase-sensitive detection technique (lock-in), we can reduce the impact of electrical noise, which improves sensitivity and, through harmonic analysis of the measured signal, decouples in real time the SSE signal from other thermoelectric effects.
