The Righi-Leduc effect refers to the thermal analogue of the Hall effect, for which the electric current is replaced by the heat current and the electric field by the temperature gradient. In both cases, the magnetic field generates a transverse force that deviates the carriers (electron, phonon, magnon) in the direction perpendicular to the current. In a ferromagnet, the magnetization plays the role of the magnetic field, and the corresponding effect is called anomalous Hall effect. Furthermore, a second transverse contribution due to the anisotropy, the planar Hall effect, is superimposed to the anomalous Hall effect. We report experimental evidence of the thermal counterpart of the Hall effects in ferromagnets, namely the magnon Hall effect (or equivalently the anomalous Righi-Leduc effect) and the planar Righi-Leduc effect, measured on ferromagnets that are either electrical conductor (NiFe) or insulator (YIG). The study shows the universal character of these new thermokinetic effects, related to the intrinsic chirality of the anisotropic ferromagnetic degrees of freedom.

We conducted a systematic angular dependence study of nonlinear magnetoresistance in NiFe/Pt bilayers at variable temperature and field using the Wheatstone bridge method. We successfully disentangled magnon magnetoresistance from other types of magn etoresistances based on their different temperature and field dependences. Both the spin Hall/anisotropic and magnon magnetoresistances contain sine phi and sine 3 phi components with phi the angle between current and magnetization, but they exhibit different field and temperature dependence. The competition between different types of magnetoresistances leads to a sign reversal of sine 3 phi component at a specific magnetic field, which was not reported previously. The phenomenological model developed is able to account for the experimental results for both NiFe/Pt and NiFe/Ta samples with different layer thicknesses. Our results demonstrate the importance of disentangling different types of magnetoresistances when characterizing the charge-spin interconversion process in magnetic heterostructures.
The non-trivial magnon band topology and its consequent responses have been extensively studied in two-dimensional magnetisms. However, the triangular lattice antiferromagnet (TLAF), the best-known frustrated two-dimensional magnet, has received less attention than the closely related Kagome system, because of the spin-chirality cancellation in the umbrella ground state of the undistorted TLAF. In this work, we study the band topology and the thermal Hall effect (THE) of the TLAF with (anti-)trimerization distortion under the external perpendicular magnetic field using the linearized spin wave theory. We show that the spin-chirality cancellation is removed in such case, giving rise to the non-trivial magnon band topology and the finite THE. Moreover, the magnon bands exhibit band topology transitions tuned by the magnetic field. We demonstrate that such transitions are accompanied by the logarithmic divergence of the first derivative of the thermal Hall conductivity. Finally, we examine the above consequences by calculating the THE in the hexagonal manganite YMnO$_3$, well known to have anti-trimerization.
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.
We propose a new mechanism for the thermal Hall effect in exchange spin-wave systems, which is induced by the magnon-phonon interaction. Using symmetry arguments, we first show that this effect is quite general, and exists whenever the mirror symmetr y in the direction of the magnetization is broken. We then demonstrate our result in a collinear ferromagnet on a square lattice, with perpendicular easy-axis anisotropy and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction from mirror symmetry breaking. We show that the thermal Hall conductivity is controlled by the resonant contribution from the anti-crossing points between the magnon and phonon branches, and estimate its size to be comparable to that of the magnon mediated thermal Hall effect.

In an easy-plane antiferromagnet with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), magnons are subject to an effective spin-momentum locking. An in-plane temperature gradient can generate interfacial accumulation of magnons with a specified polarizat ion, realizing the magnon thermal Edelstein effect. We theoretically investigate the injection and detection of this thermally-driven spin polarization in an adjacent heavy metal with strong spin Hall effect. We find that the inverse spin Hall voltage depends monotonically on both temperature and the DMI but non-monotonically on the hard-axis anisotropy. Counterintuitively, the magnon thermal Edelstein effect is an even function of a magnetic field applied along the Neel vector.
