Interface Effects in Spin Caloritronics

Abstract

Spin caloritronics is an emerging research field based on the combination of spintronics and thermoelectrics, in which the interplay between spin, heat, and charge currents plays an essential role. In this article, we show that interfaces in magnetic hybrid structures strongly affect the transport and interconversion of these currents, providing a useful way to improve thermo-spin and magneto-thermoelectric conversion efficiencies.
