Role of Magnon-Magnon Scattering in Magnon Polaron Spin Seebeck Effect
Abstract
The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) signal of magnon polarons in bulk-Y3Fe5O12 (YIG)/Pt heterostructures is found to drastically change as a function of temperature. It appears as a dip in the total SSE signal at low temperatures, but as the temperature increases, the dip gradually decreases before turning to a peak. We attribute the observed dip-to-peak transition to the rapid rise of the four-magnon scattering rate. Our analysis provides important insights into the microscopic origin of the hybridized excitations and the overall temperature dependence of the SSE anomalies.
