Non-local magnon mediated magnetoresistance allows to study the transport properties of pure spin currents in ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic insulators interfaced with a heavy metal like platinum [1, 2]. Recent results suggest that even spin superfluidity can be present in such bilayers, and that it can be detected via the non-local magnetoresistance [3].

In this work, we discuss the thermally driven local and non-local magnetoresistance experimentally observed in antiferromagnetic insulator / Pt heterostructures. We observe the characteristic fingerprint of non-local transport via angle-resolved measurements of the non-local signal. Additionally, we address the impact of contact separation and magnetic field magnitude and critically compare our data to the results presented previously.
