| contents | All-solid-state nanoscale devices capable of efficiently controlling a heat flow are crucial for advanced thermal management technologies. Here we predict a magnon-driven magnetothermal resistance (mMTR) effect in multilayers of ferromagnets and normal metals, i.e. a thermal resistance that varies when switching between parallel and antiparallel magnetization orientations of the ferromagnetic layers, even in the absence of conduction electrons in the ferromagnets. The mMTR arises from an interfacial temperature drop caused by magnon spin accumulations and can be engineered by the layer thicknesses, spin diffusion lengths, and spin conductances. The mMTR predicted here enables magnetothermal switching in insulator-based systems; we already predict large mMTR ratios up to 40$\%$ for superlattices of the electrically insulating magnet yttrium iron garnet and elemental metals. |
