We theoretically study the spin pumping from the two ferromagnetic layers embedded in a normal metal and investigate the spin current and spin accumulation generated by the precessing magnetizations, focusing on their dependence on the relative precessional motion and the layer separation. We demonstrate a giant enhancement of spin pumping induced in the out-of-phase precession mode of the magnetizations in which the pumped spin current and spin accumulation are greatly enhanced compared to those in the in-phase precession mode. The giant enhancement of spin pumping is discussed in relation to an enhanced Gilbert damping.
