We analyzed magnetic switching processes in Permalloy stripes during injection of pure diffusive spin currents. These spin currents are created via a non-local spin valve design with aluminium as the non-magnetic spin conduit between the stripes. By measuring the non-local spin signals as a function of temperature we find a non-montonous behavior. To determine the spin diffusion length in the aluminium conduit the distance between injection and detection stripe was varied. The depinning of domain walls assisted by pulsed pure spin currents is further studied and the spin-torque and the Joule heating effect are separated, by using the underlying symmetries of the effect.
