Diodes are key components in electronics. Their prized property is to provide non-linear behavior such as asymmetric conductance which allows the transport in the forward direction while blocking it in the reverse. Recently it was thought that the same feature could occur in magnetic materials by electrically shifting the magnon chemical potential towards the energy band minimum.
Using non-local devices, we have performed a comprehensive study of the nonlinear transport properties of magnons, which are electrically emitted or absorbed inside extended YIG films by spin Hall effects via a YIG|Pt interface. In this talk, we reveal that the low-energy magnons are responsible for the spin-diode effect. However, we did not find evidence of a strong spin diode effect expressing a diverging increase of the magnon density. We observe instead a condensation limited by an enhancement of magnon-magnon relaxation rate, which caps the occupation of each mode below a saturation threshold.
