We present spin-caloric transport in single Co-Ni alloy and multilayered Co-Ni/Cu nanowires, including magnetoresistance (MR) and magneto-thermopower (MTP) measurements. Co-Ni alloy nanowires show anisotropic MR while multilayered nanowires show predominant giant MR. MTP and MR are studied in a temperature range between 50 K and 325 K leading to effect sizes up to 6 % for Co-Ni alloy samples and up to 15 % for multilayered samples at room temperature. While the thermopower describes a material’s ability to convert temperature gradients into electrical voltage, thermoelectric power factors (PFs) give a measure of the electrical power generated from thermoelectric effects. The PFs of our nanowires can compete with common thermoelectric bulk materials like Bi2Te3. Additionally, a magnetic field-dependence of the nanowires’ PFs can be observed. PFs of Co-Ni nanowires increase by 24 % in an external magnetic field, while PFs of multilayered nanowires can be increased by up to 40 %. This magnetic field dependence opens interesting opportunities to tune electrical power output according to applicational needs.
