Abstract

Using one of the methods of quantum nonequilibrium statistical physics we have investigated the spin transport transverse to the normal metal/ferromagnetic insulator interface in hybrid nanostructures. An approximation of the effective parameters, when each of the interacting subsystems (electron spin, magnon, and phonon) is characterized by its own effective temperature have been considered. We have constructed the macroscopic equations describing the spin-wave current caused by both the resonantly exciting spin subsystem of conduction electrons and an inhomogeneous temperature field in the ferromagnetic insulator. In addition, we have derived the generalized Bloch equations describing the spin-wave current propagation in the insulator and considering the resonant-diffusion nature of the propagation of magnons and their relaxation processes. We have shown that the spin-wave current excitation under combined resonance conditions bears a resonant nature. The formation of the two: injected and thermally excited, different in energies magnon subsystems and the influence of its interaction with phonon drag effect under spin Seebeck effect conditions in the magnetic insulator part of the metal/ferromagnetic insulator/metal structure is studied.
