Spin-Fluctuation Drag Thermopower of Nearly Ferromagnetic Metals

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2015-05-13 v2

Abstract

We investigate theoretically the Seebeck effect in materials close to a ferromagnetic quantum critical point to explain anomalous behaviour at low temperatures. It is found that the main effect of spin fluctuations is to enhance the coefficient of the leading TT-linear term, and a quantum critical behaviour characterized by a spin-fluctuation temperature appears in the temperature dependence of correction terms as in the specific heat.
