Picosecond Spin Seebeck Effect in Magnetic Insulators
The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) refers to spin current generation in a magnetic insulator/non-magnetic metal heterostructure due to a thermal gradient and most SSE experiments typically use an electric current as heat source. This study uses Terahertz (THz) time-domain emission spectroscopy where a …

Nonlinear spin waves in magnetic thin films - foldover, dispersive shock waves, and spin pumping
Three nonlinear phenomena of spin waves and the spin Seebeck effect in yttrium iron garnet (YIG)/Pt bi-layer structures are studied in this thesis and are reported in detail in Chapters 4-7. In the fourth chapter, the first observation of foldover effect of nonlinear eigenmodes in feedback ring …

Spin Shot Noise measurement
… explored the possibility of identifying the effect of spin accumulation on charge shot noise in Pt/h-BN/Au tunnel junctions, where a flicker noise is caused by the thermally excited dynamic defects in the h-BN layer itself. The defect density is on the order of a few per square micron. We …

Topological Transport Effects and Pure Spin Currents in Nanostructures
Magnetoresistive effects are powerful tools for studying the intricate structure of solid state electronic systems, and have many applications in our current information technology. In particular, the electronic system reflects the crystal symmetry and the orbital structure of the atoms of a given …

Probing the Behaviour of Antiferromagnets: Electric and Magnetic Measurements Across a Range of Length-scales
The spin Hall effect (SHE) describes the generation of a spin current orthogonal to an applied charge current within a heavy metal, whilst the spin Seebeck effect (SSE) refers to the generation of a spin current due to thermal gradients within a magnetic material. Both effects have attracted …
