The transitional dynamics of the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (LSSE) was investigated in YIG/Pt bilayers. Two experimental approaches were used to measure LSSE in a wide range of YIG thicknesses. Firstly, a pulsed microwave signal was applied to the structure and the subsequent thermal gradient gives rise to a LSSE-voltage pulse, which was measured by an oscilloscope. Over the thickness range from 270 nm to 53 µm we observed an increase of the rise-time by a factor of 42. Secondly, the heating microwave signal was modulated by a low-frequency signal and the LSSE-voltage was measured for different modulation frequencies. The cut-off frequency was extracted from the LSSE transfer function. It shows an inverse proportional dependence to the magnetic layer thickness. Both experiments can be understood by considering the transfer properties of the magnons in their diffusive process.
