We investigate the spin Seebeck effect (SSE) in Fe3O4/NiO/Pt trilayers by varying the thickness of the antiferromagnetic NiO layer from 0 to 20 nm. Furthermore, we compare the SSE voltage normalized to the temperature difference to literature [1] and to the experimentally detected heatflux [2]. The Fe3O4/NiO bilayer is grown in situ by molecular-beam epitaxy, while the Pt layer is deposited ex situ by DC sputtering. We see an enhanced spin current signal in 0.5 and 1.1 nm NiO on 48 nm Fe3O4 for both normlizations. Moreover, we recognize a deviation from the simple exponential behaviour above 9.5 nm NiO thickness indicating a generation of spin current in NiO detectable for larger NiO thickness. Additionally, we simulate the temperature gradient in Fe3O4 in an equivalent circuit model depending on the NiO thermal conductivity and the interface thermal conductances to examine the influence of the thermal depth profile of the NiO layer on the thermally induced spin current.
