Propagation of Thermally Induced Magnonic Spin Currents
  The propagation of magnons in temperature gradients is investigated within the framework of an atomistic spin model with the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation as underlying equation of motion. We analyze the magnon accumulation, the magnon temperature profile as well as the propagation length of the excited magnons. The frequency distribution of the generated magnons is investigated in order to derive an expression for the influence of the anisotropy and the damping parameter on the magnon propagation length. For soft ferromagnetic insulators with low damping a propagation length in the range of some $\mu$m can be expected for exchange driven magnons.
