Angular momentum transport is one of the cornerstones of spintronics. Spin angular momentum is not only transported by mobile charge carriers, but also by the quantized excitations of the magnetic lattice in magnetically ordered systems. In this regard, magnetically ordered insulators provide a platform for magnon spin transport experiments without additional contributions from spin currents carried by mobile electrons. In combination with charge-to-spin current conversion processes in conductors with finite spin-orbit coupling it is possible to realize all-electrical magnon transport schemes in thin film heterostructures. This review provides an insight into such experiments and recent breakthroughs achieved. Special attention is given to charge current based manipulation via an adjacent normal metal of magnon transport in magnetically ordered insulators in terms of spin-transfer torque. Moreover, the influence of two magnon modes with opposite spin in antiferromagnetic insulators on all-electrical magnon transport experiments is discussed.

Magnetically ordered, electrically insulating materials pave the way towards novel spintronic devices. In these materials the flow of magnetic excitations such as magnons results in pure spin currents. These spin currents can be driven by gradients o
f the spin chemical potential and/or temperature such that they can play the same role in novel spintronic devices as charge currents in traditional electronic circuits. Connecting spin current based and charge current based devices requires spin to charge interconversion. This has been achieved by the spin Hall effect with an efficiency of several 10%. The recent progress in materials development and understanding of pure spin current physics opens up a plethora of novel device concepts and opportunities for fundamental studies.
Using a generalized wave matching method we solve the full scattering problem for quantum spin Hall insulator (QSHI) - superconductor (SC) - QSHI junctions. We find that for systems narrow enough so that the bulk states in the SC part couple both edg
es, the crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) is significant and the electron cotunneling (T) and CAR become spatially separated. We study the effectiveness of this separation as a function of the system geometry and the level of doping in the SC. Moreover, we show that the spatial separation of both effects allows for an all-electrical measurement of CAR and T separately in a 5-terminal setup or by using the spin selection of the quantum spin Hall effect in an H-bar structure.
The presence of non-trivial magnetic topology can give rise to non-vanishing scalar spin chirality and consequently a topological Hall or Nernst effect. In turn, topological transport signals can serve as indicators for topological spin structures. T
his is particularly important in thin films or nanopatterned materials where the spin structure is not readily accessible. Conventionally, the topological response is determined by combining magnetotransport data with an independent magnetometry experiment. This approach is prone to introduce measurement artifacts. In this study, we report the observation of large topological Hall and Nernst effects in micropatterned thin films of Mn$_{1.8}$PtSn below the spin reorientation temperature $T_mathrm{SR} approx 190$K. The magnitude of the topological Hall effect $rho_mathrm{xy}^mathrm{T} = 8$ n$Omega$m is close to the value reported in bulk Mn$_2$PtSn, and the topological Nernst effect $S_mathrm{xy}^mathrm{T} = 115$ nV K$^{-1}$ measured in the same microstructure has a similar magnitude as reported for bulk MnGe ($S_mathrm{xy}^mathrm{T} sim 150$ nV K$^{-1}$), the only other material where a topological Nernst was reported. We use our data as a model system to introduce a topological quantity, which allows to detect the presence of topological transport effects without the need for independent magnetometry data. Our approach thus enables the study of topological transport also in nano-patterned materials without detrimental magnetization related limitations.
Two-dimensional magnetic insulators can be promising hosts for topological magnons. In this study, we show that ABC-stacked honeycomb lattice multilayers with alternating Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) reveal a rich topological magnon phase
diagram. Based on our bandstructure and Berry curvature calculations, we demonstrate jumps in the thermal Hall behavior that corroborate with topological phase transitions triggered by adjusting the DMI and interlayer coupling. We connect the phase diagram of generic multilayers to a bilayer and a trilayer system. We find an even-odd effect amongst the multilayers where the even layers show no jump in thermal Hall conductivity, but the odd layers do. We also observe the presence of topological proximity effect in our trilayer. Our results offer new schemes to manipulate Chern numbers and their measurable effects in topological magnonic systems.
We show that compositions of time-reversal and spatial symmetries, also known as the magnetic-space-group symmetries, protect topological invariants as well as surface states that are distinct from those of all preceding topological states. We obtain
, by explicit and exhaustive construction, the topological classification of electronic band insulators that are magnetically ordered for each one of the 1421 magnetic space groups in three dimensions. We have also computed the symmetry-based indicators for each nontrivial class, and, by doing so, establish the complete mapping from symmetry representations to topological invariants.
