We report on temperature dependent measurements of the Longitudinal Spin Seebeck Effect (LSSE) in the mixed valent manganite La0.7Ca0.3MnO3. By disentangling the contribution arising due to the Anisotropic Nernst effect, we observe that these two thermally driven phenomena vary disparately with temperature. In a narrow low temperature regime, the LSSE exhibits a T0.55 dependence, which matches well with that predicted by the magnon-driven spin current model. Across the double exchange driven paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition, the LSSE exponent is significantly higher than the magnetization one. These observations highlights the importance of individually ascertaining the temperature evolution of different mechanisms which contribute to the measured spin Seebeck signal.
