Giant magneto-Seebeck (GMS) effect was observed in Co/Cu/Co and NiFe/Cu/Co spin valves. Their Seebeck coefficients in parallel state was larger than that in antiparallel state, and GMS ratio defined as (SAP-SP)/SP could reach -9% in our case. The GMS originated not only from trivial giant magnetoresistance but also from spin current generated due to spin polarized thermoelectric conductivity in ferromagnetic materials and subsequent modulation of the spin current by spin configurations in spin valves. Simple Mott two-channel model reproduced a -11% GMS for the Co/Cu/Co spin valves, qualitatively consistent with our observations. The GMS effect could be applied simultaneously sensing temperature gradient and magnetic field and also be possibly applied to determine spin polarization of thermoelectric conductivity and Seebeck coefficient in ferromagnetic thin films.

Spin valve systems based on the giant magnetoresistive (GMR) effect as used for example in hard disks and automotive applications consist of several functional metallic thin film layers. We have identified by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) tw
o main degradation mechanisms: One is related to oxygen diffusion through a protective cap layer, and the other one is interdiffusion directly at the functional layers of the GMR stack. By choosing a suitable material as cap layer (TaN), the oxidation effect can be suppressed.
We investigate the inverse spin Hall voltage of a 10nm thin Pt strip deposited on the magnetic insulators Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) and NiFe2O4 (NFO) with a temperature gradient in the film plane. We observe characteristics typical of the spin Seebeck effect, a
lthough we do not observe a change of sign of the voltage at the Pt strip when it is moved from hot to cold side, which is believed to be the most striking feature of the transverse spin Seebeck effect. Therefore, we relate the observed voltages to the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect generated by a parasitic out-of-plane temperature gradient, which can be simulated by contact tips of different material and heat conductivities and by tip heating. This work gives new insights into the interpretation of transverse spin Seebeck effect experiments, which are still under discussion.
The angular dependence of the thermal transport in insulating or conducting ferromagnets is derived on the basis of the Onsager reciprocity relations applied to a magnetic system. It is shown that the angular dependence of the temperature gradient ta
kes the same form as that of the anisotropic magnetoresistance, including anomalous and planar Hall contributions. The measured thermocouple generated between the extremities of the non-magnetic electrode in thermal contact to the ferromagnet follows this same angular dependence. The sign and amplitude of the magneto-voltaic signal is controlled by the difference of the Seebeck coefficients of the thermocouple.
Sharp structures in magnetic field-dependent spin Seebeck effect (SSE) voltages of Pt/Y$_{3}$Fe$_{5}$O$_{12}$ (YIG) at low temperatures are attributed to the magnon-phonon interaction. Experimental results are well reproduced by a Boltzmann theory th

How magnetism affects the Seebeck effect is an important issue widely concerned in the thermoelectric community yet remaining elusive. Based on a thermodynamic analysis of spin degrees of freedom on varied $d$-electron based ferro- and anti-ferromagn
ets, we demonstrate that in itinerant or partially itinerant magnetic compounds there exists a generic spin contribution to the Seebeck effect over an extended temperature range from slightly below to well above the magnetic transition temperature. This contribution is interpreted as resulting from transport spin entropy of (partially) delocalized conducting $d$ electrons with strong thermal spin fluctuations, even semiquantitatively in a single-band case, in addition to the conventional diffusion part arising from their kinetic degrees of freedom. As a highly generic effect, the spin-dependent Seebeck effect might pave a feasible way to efficient magnetic thermoelectrics.
