摘要:

在磁性纳米结构中产生温度梯度导致了一个新的研究方向,即,磁效应和热电效应的结合。在这里,我们证明了这一类的一个重要的效果:磁塞贝克效应的观察。它被观察到时,磁配置改变电荷的塞贝克系数。特别地,塞贝克系数在隧道结中从平行磁配置过渡到反平行磁配置期间改变。在这方面,它类似于隧道磁阻。在平行和反平行配置的塞贝克系数是在从电荷塞贝克效应已知的电压的顺序。效应的大小和符号可以通过与阻挡层相邻的电极原子层的组成和温度来控制。在实验上,我们实现了8.8%的磁塞贝克效应,这是由于从反平行方向到平行方向的电压变化约为-8.7 μV/K,接近预测值-12.1 μV/K。

英文摘要:

Creating temperature gradients in magnetic nanostructures has resulted in a new research direction, i.e., the combination of magneto- and thermoelectric effects. Here, we demonstrate the observation of one important effect of this class: the magneto-Seebeck effect. It is observed when a magnetic configuration changes the charge based Seebeck coefficient. In particular, the Seebeck coefficient changes during the transition from a parallel to an antiparallel magnetic configuration in a tunnel junction. In that respect, it is the analog to the tunneling magnetoresistance. The Seebeck coefficients in parallel and antiparallel configuration are in the order of the voltages known from the charge-Seebeck effect. The size and sign of the effect can be controlled by the composition of the electrodes' atomic layers adjacent to the barrier and the temperature. Experimentally, we realized 8.8 % magneto-Seebeck effect, which results from a voltage change of about -8.7 μV/K from the antiparallel to the parallel direction close to the predicted value of -12.1 μV/K.
