Spin caloric transport in alloys from first-principles — •Sebastian Wimmer, Diemo Ködderitzsch, Kristina Chadova, and Hubert Ebert — Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, München, Deutschland

A fully relativistic implementation of the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker coherent potential approximation (KKR-CPA) band structure method [1] in conjunction with Kubo’s linear response theory is employed to investigate various transport properties of bulk transition metal alloys. Special emphasis is put on spin-orbit coupling induced phenomena of thermo(-magneto)-electric transport in para- as well as ferromagnetic systems such as spin and anomalous Nernst effects and the anisotropy of the Seebeck effect [2,3]. These transverse and longitudinal responses to a temperature gradient are compared to their respective (magneto-)electric counterparts, the spin and anomalous Hall effects and the anisotropic magnetoresistance. For the transverse effects a decomposition into intrinsic and extrinsic (skew scattering and side-jump) contributions is performed, based on vertex corrections and scaling laws.
