The magnon propagation length, ⟨ξ⟩, of a ferro-/ferrimagnet (FM) is one of the key factors that controls the generation and propagation of thermally driven magnonic spin current in FM/heavy metal (HM) bilayer based spincaloritronic devices. For the development of a complete physical picture of thermally driven magnon transport in FM/HM bilayers over a wide temperature range, it is of utmost importance to understand the respective roles of temperature-dependent Gilbert damping (α) and effective magnetic anisotropy () in controlling the temperature evolution of ⟨ξ⟩. Here, we report a comprehensive investigation of the temperature-dependent longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (LSSE), radio frequency transverse susceptibility, and broad-band ferromagnetic resonance measurements on TmFeO (TmIG)/Pt bilayers grown on different substrates.

Recently, Heusler alloy-based spin gapless semiconductors (SGSs) with high Curie temperature () and sizable spin polarization have emerged as potential candidates for tunable spintronic applications. We report comprehensive investigation of the temperature-dependent ANE and intrinsic longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (LSSE) in CoFeCrGa thin films grown on MgO substrates. Our findings show that the anomalous Nernst coefficient for the MgO/CoFeCrGa (95 nm) film is ≈1.

Here, the effects of annealing at 250 °C with a variable duration on the bulk magnetic and structural properties of high aspect ratio biphase iron oxide nanorods with ferrimagnetic FeO and antiferromagnetic α-FeO are explored. Increasing annealing time under a free flow of oxygen enhanced the α-FeO volume fraction and improved the crystallinity of the FeO phase, identified in changes in the magnetization as a function of annealing time.

However, a full understanding of the MPE and its temperature and magnetic field evolution in these systems is lacking. In this study, the MPE has been probed in Pt/WS/BPIO (biphase iron oxide, FeO and α-FeO) heterostructures through a comprehensive investigation of their magnetic and transport properties using magnetometry, four-probe resistivity, and anomalous Hall effect (AHE) measurements.
