Quantitative disentanglement of spin Seebeck, intrinsic anomalous Nernst, and proximity-induced anomalous Nernst effect in NM/FM bilayers — •Panagiota Bougiatioti¹, Christoph Klewe^1,2, Daniel Meier¹, Orestis Manos¹, Olga Kuschel³, Joachim Wollschläger³, Laurence Bouchenoire^4,5, Simon D.

In this project, we investigate thermal transport phenomena by separating the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) contribution (intrinsic and proximity-induced) from the spin Seebeck effect (SSE) voltage on sputter-deposited Pt/NiFe₂O_4−x samples. On one hand, we observe a distinct increase of the SSE with the increase of the bandgap energy and the decrease of conductivity, whereas the ANE decreases. On the other hand, a proximity-induced ANE could only be identified in the metallic Pt/Ni₃₃Fe₆₇ bilayer. This was verified by the investigation of static magnetic proximity effects via x-ray resonant magnetic reflectivity [1-3]. Further, we determined a maximum moment of 0.48 µ_B per spin-polarized Pt atom in the Pt/Ni₃₃Fe₆₇ bilayer.
