Spin Seebeck and spin Peltier effects in ferromagnetic-nonmagnetic devices — •Bart van Wees — Zernike Institute of Advanced Materials, Groningen, The Netherlands

I will give an overview of two spincaloritronic effects in ferromagnet-nonmagnetic devices. First, the spin (dependent) Seebeck effect is demonstrated by the injection of a spin current into a non-magnetic metal, using a temperature gradient and an associated heatcurrent [1]. The second example is the recent observation of the spin Peltier effect [2]. In a specially designed device it is shown that a cooling or heating is associated with a spin current which flows in a specially designed permalloy/copper/permalloy structure. The cooling/heating due to the spin Peltier effect is detected as a change in temperature by an on-chip nanoscale thermocouple. Implications for further research will be discussed.
