We theoretically propose that an electric voltage can be generated by thermal gradient with a rotating skyrmion crystal confined in a magnetic disk. We find that the rotation of skyrmion crystal induced by diffusive thermal magnon currents…
A thermal gradient generates an electric field in any solid hosting mobile electrons. In presence of a finite magnetic field (or Berry curvature) this electric field has a transverse component. These are known as Seebeck and Nernst…

It is widely believed that temperature gradient does not induce electric field in the superconductor and consequently that thermoelectric effects do not exist, or are negligible in these materials. This statement is correct only as far as…
