Composition-tunable magnon-polaron anomalies in spin Seebeck effects in epitaxial Bi${}_x$Y${}_{3-x}$Fe${}_5$O${}_{12}$ films

Abstract

We have investigated hybridized magnon-phonon excitation (magnon polarons) in spin Seebeck effects (SSEs) in Bi${}_x$Y${}_{3-x}$Fe${}_5$O${}_{12}$ (Bi${}_x$Y${}_{3-x}$IG; $x=0$, $0.5$, and $0.9$) films with Pt contact. We observed sharp peak structures in the magnetic field $H$ dependence of the longitudinal SSE (LSSE) voltages, which appear when the phonon dispersions are tangential to the magnon dispersion curve in Bi${}_x$Y${}_{3-x}$IG. By increasing the Bi amount $x$, the peak fields in the LSSE shift toward lower $H$ values due to the reduction of the sound velocities in Bi${}_x$Y${}_{3-x}$IG. We also measured the SSE in a nonlocal configuration and found that magnon-polaron anomalies appear with different signs and intensities. Our result shows composition-tunability of magnon-polaron anomalies and provides a clue to further unravel the physics of magnon-polaron SSEs.
