Spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) has been observed in Pt/NiO/Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) heterostructures with characteristics very different from those in Pt= YIG. This phenomenon indicates that a spin current generated by the spin Hall effect in Pt transmits through the insulating NiO and is reflected from the NiO/YIG interface. The SMR in Pt/NiO/YIG shows a strong temperature dependence dominated by effective spin conductance, due to antiferromagnetic magnons and spin fluctuation. Inverted SMR has been observed below a temperature which increases with the NiO thickness, suggesting a spin-flip reflection from the antiferromagnetic NiO exchange coupled with the YIG.
