Pure spin thermocurrents in Permalloy at high Temperatures — •Marco Di Gennaro1, Bin Xu2, and Matthieu Verstraete11Department of Physics, University of Liege, B4000 Liege — 2Physics Department and Institute for Nanoscience and Engineering, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701, USA

We present a method for the calculation of spin dependent transport quantities in ferromagnetic metals based on an variational resolution of the semi-classical Boltzmann equation. The electron-phonon coupling is calculated ab-initio [1], explicitly considering two different spin channels and thermal expansion. The calculated Seebeck coefficient for magnetic Permalloy agrees with experimental data measured within a large temperature range. We also calculate the spin dependent Seebeck coefficient describing a build up of spin chemical potential under application of a temperature gradient. We find that a thermal gradient can produce a pure spin current in Permalloy at high temperatures.
