This study investigates spin current generation in a Fe<inf>2</inf>TiSb/Y<inf>3</inf>Fe<inf>5</inf>O<inf>12</inf> multi-layer thin film as prepared via the magnetron sputtering method. Comprehensive characterization techniques are employed to assess film properties, including X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy, and Vibrating sample magnetometer. The Y<inf>3</inf>Fe<inf>5</inf>O<inf>12</inf> material exhibits a polycrystalline ferromagnetic insulator behavior, while the 20 nm-thick Fe<inf>2</inf>TiSb film displays small ferromagnetic metal properties with an amorphous structure. Spin current analysis utilizes the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect configuration, considering magnetic field and temperature dependencies and the results show that spin conversion within the Fe<inf>2</inf>TiSb/Y<inf>3</inf>Fe<inf>5</inf>O<inf>12</inf> structure is influenced by both the spin Seebeck effect and the anomalous Nernst effect, resulting in an overall spin signal enhancement. The spin Seebeck coefficient of Fe<inf>2</inf>TiSb/Y<inf>3</inf>Fe<inf>5</inf>O<inf>12</inf> was approximately 0.103 μV/K within a magnetic field of 300 mT.

In this article, we report on the design of a low-cost, accurate, and easy-to-implement roomerature experimental setup to comprehensively study the spin Seebeck effect (SSE) in ferrimagnetic insulators (FIs). Neodymium permanent magnets (NdPMs) are used to generate a fixed uniform magnetic field while the sample is staged in a custom-designed vacuum chamber containing thermal baths (for generating the required temperature gradient) and a complete 360° sample rotation mechanism (for studying the magnetic field angle dependence). Our experiments reveal excellent magnetic field uniformity (±1%) formed between the magnet poles, a highly accurate temperature gradient stability (±1%), and excellent agreement of the longitudinal SSE (LSSE) response for the Pt/YIG structure studied here with those reported in the literature. We also measure the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) exhibited in a graphite sample, demonstrating the capability of our setup to accurately measure this parameter. Finally, we demonstrate that our setup can also be used to measure the conventional Seebeck effect (SE) and the electrical resistivity of commercially obtained Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf> samples, making it a versatile tool for the broad characterization of thermoelectric materials.

The generation of spin voltage by heat, known as the spin Seebeck effect (SSE), involves the injection of spin current from a ferromagnetic to a normal metal. In this study, the shunting effect in SSE is investigated within a hybrid structure consisting of iron (Fe) and cobalt (Co) films deposited on a Si-wafer substrate using thermal evaporation [Si/Fe(500 nm)/Co(10 nm)]. Spin voltage measurements performed in the in-plane configuration revealed a voltage reversal in the Co film and Fe film. However, in the hybrid structure (Si/Fe/Co), the voltage signal exhibited consistent directionality. This intriguing observation hints at a potential shunting effect, wherein the voltage influence from the Fe layer contributes to the Co film. Consequently, it is deduced that a significant shunting effect occurs when the resistivity of Fe is approximately three orders of magnitude lower than that of the Co film. This insight sheds light on the intricate dynamics of spin thermoelectric applications, emphasizing the role of material properties in optimizing performance.

In this study, we report on the observation of spin current in opposite spin Hall angle materials of polycrystalline bulk-Fe3O4/Co and polycrystalline bulk-Fe3O4/Fe spin Seebeck effect (SSE) devices. In contrast to prior works, a facile and low-cost hot-pressing powder metallurgy process was employed to manufacture the polycrystalline bulk-Fe3O4 samples. The crystal structure, magnetization properties, and electrical resistivity characterizations of the fabricated bulk-Fe3O4, which were performed using x-ray diffraction, vibration sample microscope, and four-point probe, respectively, revealed excellent agreement with those of conventional Fe3O4. By taking advantage of the fact that the SSE signal in our devices is typically contaminated with the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE), we show that the total thermo-voltage obtained from our devices can be enhanced by the significant ANE signals exhibited by the Co and Fe spin detectors. Importantly, the ANE contributions could be filtered out from the main signal by independent measurements of the ANE voltage in SiO2/Co and SiO2/Fe systems, thereby allowing the approximate extraction of the SSE voltage. Our experiments reveal that the polarity of the measured ANE (and pure SSE voltages) are opposite to each other in the bulk-Fe3O4/Co and bulk-Fe3O4/Fe structures, thus proving the opposite spin-hall angles character of these materials. The findings of this work provide a pathway for further exploration of methods through which the thermo-voltage output in future spin-Hall thermopile devices may be improved using materials manufactured via a facile, low-cost, and easily scalable process.

The generation of pure spin current through thermal gradients, known as the spin Seebeck effect (SSE), has garnered significant interest in spintronics. In this study, we design and construct a permanent magnetic instrument setup to generate a variable external magnetic field using NdFeB permanent magnets to observe the SSE. The experimental setup is composed of three crucial components: the magnetic field, the temperature gradient, and electronic control systems. Si/yttrium iron garnet (YIG)/platinum (Pt) and Si/nickel (Ni) samples, prepared via sputtering techniques, were utilized for standard calibration purposes. The results show that the external magnetic field produced by NdFeB varies with the gap distance between the two magnetic poles, following an exponential decrease in field strength with increasing gap distance. The magnetic field at the center can be adjusted from ±20 to ±5000 Oe. The temperature gradient stabilizes after approximately 10 min, with a temperature difference ( ΔT ) between the heated and cooled sides ranging from 0 to 30 K. For instrument testing, we performed magnetic field and angle-dependent measurements on Si/YIG/Pt and Si/Ni samples. The results indicate that the magnetic field dependence of the permanent magnet instrument (PMI) does not exhibit the voltage loop switching seen with an alternative magnetic coil (AMC) but shows analogous behavior at high magnetic fields. Moreover, the angle dependence of both PMI and AMC yielded comparable results. In conclusion, our PMI setup procedures effectively facilitate the observation of the SSE.

In this article, we report on a low-cost instrument for the versatile measurement of spin caloritronics phenomena such as the spin Seebeck effect (SSE), anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR), and anomalous Hall effect (AHE). Solenoid coils provide a uniform variable magnetic field while the sample was sandwiched between thermal baths and measured in a vacuum chamber. Our results show excellent magnetic field uniformity (±0.37 mT) within the magnet gap and high stability of the generated temperature difference (±0.07 K). For verifying the effectiveness of our instrument, Yttrium Iron garnet (YIG)/Co structure was used to measure the SSE, AMR, and AHE, while a SiO2/Co structure was used for measuring the ANE. Our SSE measurements of the YIG/Co structure were found to be comparable with that of a commercially available instrument. We can therefore conclude that our low-cost and versatile instrument can be used to effectively observe spin Caloritronics phenomena.

Spin-Hall thermopiles have been previously proposed as a means to enhance the spin Seebeck effect (SSE). However, the use of platinum (Pt) for spin detection drives costs high and proves an impediment for scalability. In this work, a cost-effective spin-Hall thermopile constructed from opposite spin-Hall angle ferromagnets, cobalt (Co) and iron (Fe), is reported. The devices are fabricated using a standard sputter-coated yttrium iron garnet (YIG) substrate that serves as the spin injector, and thermally evaporated Co and Fe strips that enable spin detection. When serially connected to form a (YIG/Co, Fe) thermopile structure, measurements indicate a significant enhancement of the spin voltage that results from the additive spin contributions of the opposite spin-Hall angle ferromagnets and the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) that they exhibit. The YIG/Co, Fe thermopile reported here offers a cost-effective alternative to Pt-based thermopiles and the possibility of large-scale implementation to realize future thermoelectric generators.
