  Thin films of perovskite oxides offer the possibility of combining emerging
concepts of strongly correlated electron phenomena and spin current in magnetic
devices. However, spin transport and magnetization dynamics in these complex
oxide materials are not well understood. Here, we experimentally quantify spin
transport parameters and magnetization damping in epitaxial perovskite
ferromagnet/paramagnet bilayers of La$_{2/3}$Sr$_{1/3}$MnO$_3$/SrRuO$_3$
(LSMO/SRO) by broadband ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy. From the SRO
thickness dependence of Gilbert damping, we estimate a short spin diffusion
length of $\lesssim$1 nm in SRO and an interfacial spin-mixing conductance
comparable to other ferromagnet/paramagnetic-metal bilayers. Moreover, we find
that anisotropic non-Gilbert damping due to two-magnon scattering also
increases with the addition of SRO. Our results demonstrate LSMO/SRO as a
spin-source/spin-sink system that may be a foundation for examining
spin-current transport in various perovskite heterostructures.
