By means of the oscillating magnetic fields of irradiated microwaves the deliberate rotation of the YIG magnetization is induced, which emits
a magnon spin current into the CoO.
In the metallic Co layer
the magnon spin current gets converted into a charge current due to the so - called inverse spin Hall effect and is thus detected.
In the emerging field of magnon spintronics, researchers investigate the possibility to transport and process information by means of so - called
magnon spin currents.
In contrast to electrical currents, on which todays information technology is based,
magnon spin currents do not conduct electrical charges but magnetic momenta.

Magnon spin currents can be controlled via spin valve structure.»
