Control of spin current propagation efficiency via island-like IrMn Insertion

Caption

A thin IrMn layer is deposited on a YIG magnetic substrate, followed by a Pt layer. When the designed thickness of IrMn layer is less than one atomic layer, leading to an island-like structure, the propagation of the spin current increases.
