  We would like to point out the blind spots of the approach combining the spin
pumping theory proposed by Tserkovnyak et al. with the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert
equation; this method has been widely used for interpreting vast experimental
results. The essence of the spin pumping effect is the quantum fluctuation.
Thus, localized spin degrees of freedom should be quantized, i.e. be treated as
magnons not as classical variables. Consequently, the precessing ferromagnet
can be regarded as a magnon battery. This point of view will be useful for
further progress of spintronics.
