Antiferromagentic resonance detected by direct current voltages in MnF₂/Pt bilayers

We performed coplanar waveguide-based broadband ferromagnetic resonance experiments on the antiferromagnetic insulator MnF₂, while simultaneously recording the DC voltage arising in a thin platinum film deposited onto the MnF₂. The antiferromagnetic resonance is clearly reflected in both the transmission through the waveguide as well as the DC voltage in the Pt strip. The DC voltage remains largely unaffected by field reversal and thus presumably stems from microwave rectification and/or heating effects. However, we identify a small magnetic field orientation dependent contribution, compatible with antiferromagnetic spin pumping theory.
