Spin caloritronics is the science and technology of the physical phenomena (and their control) associated with the coupling of charge, spin, and heat currents in nanoscale structures and devices [1]. Bilayers of magnetic insulators and normal metals have attracted interest in this field because they display the spin Seebeck effect, i.e. the generation of a spin motive force by an applied temperature difference over the interface. In this talk I will address the theory and applications of power and voltage generation by thermally excited magnetization dynamics at the interface of a magnetic insulator such as yttrium iron garnet (YIG) and normal metals such as platinum.
