“…Additionally, as a ferrimagnetic insulator, YIG is an ideal material of low-power consumption to generate a pure spin current in magnon-based devices without introducing extra charge current. At present, high-quality single-crystal YIG films (thickness<100 nm) have been successfully achieved on a costly single crystal substrate, e.g., gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) via epitaxial growth techniques such as liquid phase epitaxy (LPE), molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and magnetron sputtering [3][4][5][6], which have been intensively studied in various spintronic researches, such as the spin pumping [7][8][9][10][11][12], the spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) [13][14][15][16], and the electrical excitation and detection of spin waves [1,17].…”
