Schematics of the experiment. Spin-wave pulses are excited by a Au antenna and propagate in a 500-nm wide waveguide fabricated from a BiYIG(20 nm)/Pt(6 nm) bilayer. In-plane dc current flowing in the Pt layer is converted into an out-of-plane pure spin current I s (inset), which is injected into the BiYIG film and exerts anti-damping torque on the magnetization.
