英文摘要：

We investigate the thermoelectric properties of electrons at the interface of oxide heterostructure and in the presence of a multiferroic oxide with spiral spin order. We find there is no (spin) Hall current generated by the temperature gradient. A Seebeck effect is however present. Due to the magnetoelectric coupling, the charge and thermal conductivities are electrically controllable via the spin spiral helicity. Moreover, the thermopower exhibits a sign change when tuning electro-statically the carrier density.

Anisotropic thermoelectric effect in helimagnetic tunnel junctions

Thermoelectric transport across normal-metal/helical-multiferroic/ferromagnetic heterojunctions is theoretically investigated. We find a anisotropic charge and spin thermopower with a $C_{2v}$ symmetry. The angular dependence on the magnetization orientation of the ferromagnetic layer is substantiated by a phenomenological theory based on the symmetry of the effective spin-orbit interaction induced by the topology of the spiral magnetic order in the multiferroic barrier.

Electrically controlled persistent spin currents at the interface of multiferroic oxides

We predict the appearance of a persistent spin current in a two-dimensional electron gas formed at the interface of multiferroic oxides with a transverse helical magnetic order. No charge current is generated. This is the result of an effective spin-orbit coupling generated by the topology of the oxide local magnetic moments. The effective coupling and the generated spin current depend linearly on the magnetic spiral helicity which, due to the magneto-electric coupling, is tunable by a transverse electric field offering thus a new mean for the generation of electrically controlled persistent s…

Electron spin diffusion at the interface of multiferroic oxides

We study the spin diffusion in a two-dimensional electron gas at the interface of oxide heterostructure LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ grown on multiferroic TbMnO$_3$ at 15 K by means of the kinetic spin Bloch equation approach. The spiral magnetic moments of Mn$^{3+}$ in TbMnO$_3$ interact with the diffusing spins at the LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface via the Heisenberg exchange interaction. It is demonstrated that the spin diffusion length is always finite, despite the polarization direction of the injected spins. Our study also reveals the important role played by the Coulomb scattering, which can effe…

Multiferroic oxides-based flash-memory and spin-field-effect transistor

We propose a modified spin-field-effect transistor fabricated in a two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) formed at the surface of multiferroic oxides with a transverse helical magnetic order. The topology of the oxide local magnetic moments induces a resonant momentum-dependent effective spin-orbit interaction acting on 2DEG. We show that spin polarization dephasing is strongly suppressed which is crucial for functionality. The carrier spin precession phase depend linearly on the magnetic spiral helicity. The latter is electrically controllable by virtue of the magento-electric effect. We also s…

Spin-dependent electron grating effect from helical magnetization in multiferroic tunnel junctions

In multiferroic oxides with a transverse helical magnetic order, the magnetization exchange coupling is sinusoidally space-dependent. We theoretically investigate the spin-dependent electron grating effect in normal-metal/helical-multiferroic/ferromagnettic heterojunctions. The spin wave vector of the spiral can be added or subtracted from the electron spacial wave vector inducing spin-conserved and spin-flipped diffracted transmission and reflection. The predicted grating effect can be controlled by magnetization exchange coupling strength, the helicity spatial period, and the magnetization o…

Nanostructured Zinc Oxide as a Prospective Room Temperature Thermoelectric Material

Nanostructured Zinc oxide (ZnO) was synthesized via a ball milling for 10 hours using high energy planetary ball mill. Phase purity and homogeneity of all the samples have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM). All the diffraction peaks can be indexed to the hexagonal phase ZnO with hexagonal symmetry (space group P63mc). Average crystallite size was observed to be 20 nm. There was a remarkable suppression in thermal conductivity (κ) compared to the bulk values by a factor of ~50 at room temperature. This suggests to the possibili…

Magnetotransport and spin dynamics in an electron gas formed at oxide interfaces

We investigate the spin-dependent transport properties of a two-dimensional electron gas formed at oxides' interface in the presence of a magnetic field. We consider several scenarios for the oxides' properties, including oxides with co-linear or spiral magnetic and ferroelectric order. For spiral multiferroic oxides, the magnetoelectric coupling and the topology of the localized magnetic moments introduce additional, electric field controlled spin-orbit coupling that affects the magneto-oscillation of the current. An interplay of this spin-orbit coupling, the exchange field, and of the applie…

Van der Waals Multiferroic Tunnel Junctions

Multiferroic tunnel junctions (MFTJs) have aroused significant interest due to their functional properties useful for non-volatile memory devices. So far, however, all the existing MFTJs have been based on perovskite-oxide heterostructures limited by a relatively high resistance-area (RA) product unfavorable for practical applications. Here, using first-principles calculations, we explore spin-dependent transport properties of van der Waals (vdW) MFTJs which consist of two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic FenGeTe2 (n = 3, 4, 5) electrodes and 2D ferroelectric In2Se3 barrier layers. We demonstrat…

Selective Enhancement in Phonon Scattering leads to High Thermoelectric Figure of Merit in ZnO -- Graphene Oxide Core-shell Nanohybrids

ZnO is a promising candidate as an environment friendly thermoelectric (TE) material. However, the poor TE figure of merit (zT) needs to be addressed to achieve significant TE efficiency for commercial applications. Here we demonstrate that selective enhancement in phonon scattering leads to increase in zT of RGO encapsulated Al-doped ZnO core shell nanohybrids, synthesized via a facile and scalable method. The incorporation of 1 at% Al with 1.5 wt% RGO into ZnO (AGZO) has been found to show significant enhancement in zT (=0.52 at 1100 K) which is an order of magnitude larger compared to that …

Thermopower enhancement by fractional layer control in 2D oxide superlattices

We have investigated two-dimensional thermoelectric properties in transition metal oxide heterostructures. In particular, we adopted an unprecedented approach to direct tuning of the 2D carrier density using fractionally δ-doped oxide superlattices. By artificially controlling the carrier density in the 2D electron gas that emerges at a LaxSr1-xTiO3 δ-doped layer, we demonstrate that a thermopower as large as 408 μV K-1 can be reached. This approach also yielded a power factor of the 2D carriers 117 μWcm-1K-2, which is one of the largest reported values from transition metal oxide based materi…

Intriguing Magnetoelectric Effect in Two-dimensional Ferromagnetic/Perovskite Oxide Ferroelectric Heterostructure

Two-dimensional (2D) magnets have broad application prospects in the spintronics, but how to effectively control them with a small electric field is still an issue. Here we propose that 2D magnets can be efficiently controlled in a multiferroic heterostructure composed of 2D magnetic material and perovskite oxide ferroelectric (POF) whose dielectric polarization is easily flipped under a small electric field. We illustrate the feasibility of such strategy in the bilayer CrI3/BiFeO3(001) heterostructure by using the first-principles calculations. Different from the traditional POF multiferroic …

All-oxide spin Seebeck effects

We report the observation of longitudinal spin Seebeck effects (LSSE) in an all-oxide bilayer system comprising an IrO$_2$ film and an Y$_3$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$ film. Spin currents generated by a temperature gradient across the IrO$_2$/Y$_3$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$ interface were detected as electric voltage via the inverse spin Hall effect in the conductive IrO$_2$ layer. This electric voltage is proportional to the magnitude of the temperature gradient and its magnetic field dependence is well consistent with the characteristic of the LSSE. This demonstration may lead to the realization of low-cost, stable,…
