Title: Spin Hall-induced auto-oscillations in ultrathin YIG grown on Pt

Abstract

We experimentally study nanowire-shaped spin-Hall nano-oscillators based on nanometer-thick epitaxial films of Yttrium Iron Garnet grown on top of a layer of Pt. We show that, although these films are characterized by significantly larger magnetic damping in comparison with the films grown directly on Gadolinium Gallium Garnet, they allow one to achieve spin current-driven auto-oscillations at comparable current densities, which can be an indication of the better transparency of the interface to the spin current. These observations suggest a route for improvement of the flexibility of insulator-based spintronic devices and their compatibility with semiconductor technology.
