In this work, we report measurements of the low-temperature (T ≤ 15K) longitudinal spin Seebeck coefficient (S_LSSE) in bulk single crystals of the helimagnetic insulator Cu₂OSeO₃ with Pt contacts. Simultaneous measurement of both S_LSSE and the magnon thermal conductivity (κ_m) demonstrates their correlation and allows for quantitative and favorable comparison to bulk magnon spin current theory.
