In recent years the ferrimagnetic insulating material yttrium iron garnet (YIG) has been intensively studied, mostly in combination with an adjacent few-nm-thick platinum (Pt) layer. Besides the local generation and detection of pure spin-currents in such a bilayer system, it was shown in 2015 that it is also possible to generate non-local electrical signals by transporting spin-information through the electrical insulating YIG layer by diffusion of incoherent magnons (quantized spin-waves) [1,2]. We study this non-local magnon transport, by electrical injection as well as by thermal excitation of magnons, for various magnetic insulating garnets. By measuring as a function of temperature and both the direction and magnitude of an applied magnetic field, we investigate the influence of various magnetic structures on the magnon generation, transport and non-local detection.
