Currently, thermally excited magnons are being intensively investigated owing to their potential in computing devices and thermoelectric conversion technologies. We report the detection of thermal magnon current propagating in a magnetic insulator yttrium iron garnet under a temperature gradient, using electron spins associated with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. By exploiting the interplay between coherent and incoherent magnons, thermal magnon current is observed via NV spins hosted in a beam-shaped bulk diamond and a nanodiamond coupled with coherent magnon in the form of modified Rabi oscillation frequencies as well as spin relaxation rates. The local probing of thermal magnon current serves as a basis for creating a new device platform hybridizing spin caloritronics and spin qubits.
