Abstract
In a bilayer of ferromagnetic and non-magnetic metal, spin pumping can be generated by a thermal gradient. The spin current generation depends on the spin mixing conductance of the interface and the magnetic properties of the ferromagnetic layer. Due to its low intrinsic damping, rare earth iron garnet is often used for the ferromagnetic layer in the spin Seebeck experiment. However, it is actually a ferrimagnetic with antiferromagnetically coupled magnetic lattices and the contribution of rare earth magnetic lattice of rare earth iron garnet on thermal spin pumping is not well understand. Here we focus on the effect of magnetic properties of lanthanide and show that the orbital angular momentum of rare earth iron garnet enhances thermal spin current generation of lanthanide substituted yttrium iron garnet.
