摘要:

自从发现巨磁电阻效应以来,利用电子的固有角动量开辟了新的自旋基器件概念。自旋相关电导率的自旋向上和自旋向下电子的双通道模型很好地描述了这种器件中的自旋和电荷输运。在研究热与自旋输运之间的相互作用或自旋热电子学时,直到最近才假设两种自旋物质总是处于相同的温度。在这里,我们报告的观察不同的温度为自旋上(T_ \uparrow)和自旋下(T_ \downarrow)电子在纳米柱自旋阀受到热流。自旋热积累(T_s = T_ \uparrow -T_PDMATHABMN)的弱弛豫,特别是在室温下,对于我们的器件中探测它是必不可少的。使用3D有限元建模的自旋热积累(SHA)的值为120 mK和350 mK,分别在室温和77 K,这是10%的顺序的总温度偏差的支柱提取。这种技术独特地允许在低能量和高温下研究非弹性自旋散射,这是不可能的光谱方法。

英文摘要:

Since the discovery of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect the use of the intrinsic angular momentum of the electrons has opened up new spin based device concepts. The two channel model of spin-up and spin-down electrons with spin-dependent conductivities very well describes spin and charge transport in such devices. In studies of the interaction between heat and spin transport, or spin caloritronics, until recently it was assumed that both spin species are always at the same temperature. Here we report the observation of different temperatures for the spin up (T_\uparrow) and spin down (T_\downarrow) electrons in a nanopillar spin valve subject to a heat current. The weak relaxation, especially at room temperature, of the spin heat accumulation (T_s = T_\uparrow-T_\downarrow) is essential for its detection in our devices. Using 3D finite element modeling spin heat accumulation (SHA) values of 120 mK and 350 mK are extracted at room temperature and 77 K, respectively, which is of the order of 10% of the total temperature bias over the pillar. This technique uniquely allows the study of inelastic spin scattering at low energies and elevated temperatures, which is not possible by spectroscopic methods.
