Abstract
Exploration of the coupling of charge, heat, and spin is the key for spintronics in two-dimensional van der Waals magnets, as Joule heating is a practical source of generating spin currents strongly linked to the magnetization. Here, the authors present the first measurements of spin caloritronic effects in a two-dimensional ferromagnetic insulator/heavy metal system, paving the way to deeper understanding of magnonic technology, hosted by two-dimensional materials.
