We report on the experimental results of the dynamics of spin Hall effect (SHE) and spin Seebeck effect (SSE) induced magnetization auto-oscillations in YIG/Pt microstructures. The investigated structures differ with respect to their geometry and fabrication methods. DC current pulses result in a generation of a spin current due to the SHE and in a Joule heating of the Pt layer. The heating leads to the formation of a thermal gradient and to the formation of a SSE spin current, which exerts an anti-damping torque and causes magnetization precession. Time-resolved Brillouin light scattering microscopy is used to investigate the magnetization precession as a function of time and spatial position. The interplay between different excited spin-wave modes is adressed.
