Spin-pumping experimental technique where a DC or AC spin current is generated, and typically transferred to a heavy metal layer where it can be detected via electrical measurements. While well established in conventional materials, coherent spin-pumping in van der Waals magnetic materials is challenging due to the low damping and high-quality interface requirements. Here, Xu et al demonstrate coherent spin pumping in the van der Waals magnet Cr2Ge2Te6.
