A ferromagnet exposed to a thermal gradient ∇ T in an external magnetic field H→ generates a spin current parallel to ∇ T (longitudinal spin Seebeck effect [1]) which can be detected in materials with high spin orbit coupling (e.g. Pt) by the inverse spin Hall effect. Up to now, all spin caloric experiments employ a spatially fixed ∇ T. The use of a recently reported new experimental setup allows the rotation of an in-plane ∇ T [2]. In this talk, it will be shown, that combined with a rotatable external magnetic field, the rotation of ∇ T reveals a phase shift of the magnetothermopower angular dependence with respect to the magnetization direction in a permalloy thin film. Supported by a theoretical model this phase shift allows to unambiguously separate the Seebeck voltage, the anisotropic magnetothermopower and the planar Nernst effect within one experiment.
