We combine ferromagnetic resonance absorption measurements (FMR) with spin pumping measurements
to ascertain the full magnetization dynamics of Y3Fe5O12 (YIG)/Gd3Fe5O12 (GdIG)/Pt heterostructures. This
trilayer system offers the unique possibility to individually investigate the spin dynamics of the ferrimagnetic
GdIG close to its compensation temperature. We show that this trilayer acts as a highly tunable spin current
source and our experimental results are corroborated by micromagnetic simulations. The detected spin current in
the top Pt layer is governed by spin dynamics in the GdIG layer, while the broadband FMR absorption spectrum
of the full heterostructure comprises contributions from spin dynamics in both layers. Thus, combining the
measurements of FMR absorption and spin current generation from the spin pumping and spin Seebeck effect
allows us to understand the spin dynamics contributions of both constituents.
