Our approach focuses on the collective magnetic excitation of spins, i.e., magnons. We show that the linear-response formulation provides us with a qualitative as well as quantitative understanding of the spin Seebeck effect observed in a prototypical magnet, yttrium iron garnet.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-03-30T02:05:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "85.75.-d", "72.15.Jf", "72.25.-b" ], "keywords": [ "spin seebeck effect", "ferromagnetic insulators", "linear-response theory", "spin voltage generation", "linear response theory" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevB.83.094410", "year": 2011, "month": "Mar", "volume": 83, "number": 9, "pages": "094410" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011PhRvB..83i4410A" } } }
