Frequency-dependent Phonon-mediated Unidirectional Magnetoresistance in a Metal on an Insulator with Highly Nonequilibrium Magnons

Abstract
Heavy metal (HM)/magnet bilayers host many magnetoresistances (MR) and spin caloritronic effects. Here we show that the spin Peltier effect and electron-phonon scattering produce much larger unidirectional MR of an HM on a magnetic insulator than existing theories that neglect the interplay between MR and spin caloritronic effects. By accounting for local nonequilibrium in both the magnon chemical potential and temperature, our analytical model attributes the observed frequency dependence of the spin Peltier MR and the spin Seebeck effect to the reduction of the thermal penetration depth, which approaches the 1 micron scale magnon spin diffusion length at high frequencies.
