A five-dimensional treatment of the Boltzmann equation is used to establish the constitutive equations that relate thermodynamic fluxes and forces up to first order in the gradients for simple charged fluids in the presence of electromagnetic fields.
The formalism uses the ansatz first introduced by Kaluza back in 1921, proposing that the particle charge-mass ratio is proportional to the fifth component of its velocity field. It is shown that in this approach, space-time curvature yields thermodynamic forces leading to generalizations of the well-known cross-effects present in linear irreversible thermodynamics.
Arising from the interplay between charge, spin and orbital of electrons, spin-orbit torque (SOT) has attracted immense interest in the past decade. Despite vast progress, the existing quantification methods of SOT still have their respective restric
tions on the magnetic anisotropy, the entanglement between SOT effective fields, and the artifacts from the thermal gradient and the planar Hall effect, etc. Thus, accurately characterizing SOT across diverse samples remains as a critical need. In this work, with the aim of removing the afore-mentioned restrictions, thus enabling the universal SOT quantification, we report the characterization of the sign and amplitude of SOT by angular measurements. We first validate the applicability of our angular characterization in a perpendicularly magnetized Pt/Co-Ni heterostructure by showing excellent agreements to the results of conventional quantification methods. Remarkably, the thermoelectric effects, i.e., the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) arising from the temperature gradient can be self-consistently disentangled and quantified from the field dependence of the angular characterization. The superiority of this angular characterization has been further demonstrated in a Cu/CoTb/Cu sample with large ANE but negligible SOT, and in a Pt/Co-Ni sample with weak perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), for which the conventional quantification methods are not applicable and even yield fatal error. By providing a comprehensive and versatile way to characterize SOT and thermoelectric effects in diverse heterostructures, our results pave the important foundation for the spin-orbitronic study as well as the interdisciplinary research of thermal spintronic.
Flexible boundary condition methods couple an isolated defect to bulk through the bulk lattice Greens function. The inversion of the force-constant matrix for the lattice Greens function requires Fourier techniques to project out the singular subspac
e, corresponding to uniform displacements and forces for the infinite lattice. Three different techniques--relative displacement, elastic Greens function, and discontinuity correction--have different computational complexity for a specified numerical error. We calculate the convergence rates for elastically isotropic and anisotropic cases and compare them to analytic results. Our results confirm that the discontinuity correction is the most computationally efficient method to compute the lattice Greens function.
Thermoelectric effects are more sensitive and promising probes to topological properties of emergent materials, but much less addressed compared to other physical properties. Zirconium pentatelluride (ZrTe$_{5}$) has inspired active investigations re
cently because of its multiple topological nature. We study the thermoelectric effects of ZrTe$_{5}$ in a magnetic field and find several anomalous behaviors. The Nernst response has a steplike profile near zero field when the charge carriers are electrons only, suggesting the anomalous Nernst effect arising from a nontrivial profile of Berry curvature. Both the thermopower and Nernst signal exhibit exotic peaks in the strong-field quantum limit. At higher magnetic fields, the Nernst signal has a sign reversal at a critical field where the thermopower approaches to zero. We propose that these anomalous behaviors can be attributed to the Landau index inversion, which is resulted from the competition of the $sqrt{B}$ dependence of the Dirac-type Landau bands and linear-$B$ dependence of the Zeeman energy ($B$ is the magnetic field). Our understanding to the anomalous thermoelectric properties in ZrTe$_{5}$ opens a new avenue for exploring Dirac physics in topological materials.
Using first-principles calculations combined with Boltzmann transport theory, we investigate the effects of topological edge states on the thermoelectric properties of Bi nanoribbons. It is found that there is a competition between the edge and bulk
contributions to the Seebeck coefficients. However, the electronic transport of the system is dominated by the edge states because of its much larger electrical conductivity. As a consequence, a room temperature value exceeding 3.0 could be achieved for both p- and n-type systems when the relaxation time ratio between the edge and the bulk states is tuned to be 1000. Our theoretical study suggests that the utilization of topological edge states might be a promising approach to cross the threshold of the industrial application of thermoelectricity.
