Our talk presents a comprehensive study of the spatial dispersion of propagating magnons electrically emitted by the spin Hall effects across a YIG|Pt interface in extended yttrium-iron garnet (YIG) films. Our target is to provide a generic framework to describe the magnon transport. We experimentally elucidate the relevant spectral contributions of the electrically emitted magnons by studying the lateral decay of the magnon signal. The propagating magnons can be split into two fluids: (i) high-energy magnons carrying energy of about kBT, where kBT is the lattice temperature, with a characteristic decay length in the submicrometer range, and (ii) low-energy magnons, which carrying energy of about FMR frequency in GHz, with a characteristic decay length in the micrometer range. Taking advantage of their different physical properties, the low-energy magnons becomes the dominant fluid (i) at large current injection for the spin Hall effect, (ii) at large distance from the emitter.
