Conventional and spin-related thermoelectric effects in electronic transport through a nanoscopic system exhibiting magnetic anisotropy $-$with both uniaxial and transverse components$-$ are studied theoretically in the linear response…

Complex oxide heterostructures are hot candidates for post CMOS multi-functional devices. Especially in spintronics applications ferromagnetic oxides may play a key role because they can exhibit extraordinary high spin polarization. Indeed,…

Phonons can carry angular momentum and exhibit chirality through the circular polarization of atomic motion. This enables a phonon-mediated spin Seebeck effect (SSE) via the conversion of phonon angular momentum into electron spin angular…

We propose a new type of the spin Seebeck effect (SSE) emerging from the Rashba spin-orbit coupling in asymmetric four-terminal electron systems. This system generates spin currents or spin voltages along the longitudinal direction parallel…

Heterointerfaces have led to the discovery of novel electronic and magnetic states because of their strongly entangled electronic degrees of freedom. Single-phase chromium compounds always exhibit antiferromagnetism following the prediction…

Materials with a coexistence of magnetic and ferroelectric order (i.e., multiferroics) provide an efficient route for the control of magnetism by electric fields. Unfortunately, a long-sought room temperature multiferroic with strongly…

It has recently been proposed and experimentally demonstrated that it is possible to generate large thermoelectric effects in ferromagnet/superconductor structures due to a spin-dependent particle-hole asymmetry. Here, we theoretically show…

Using a three-current model for heat, spin-up and spin-down electrons, the thermodynamics of irreversible processes predicts that a temperature gradient gives rise to a spin current under the conditions used to measure what is called the…

The spin galvanic effect (SGE) describes the conversion of a non-equilibrium spin polarization into a transverse charge current. Recent experiments have demonstrated a large conversion efficiency for the two-dimensional electron gas formed…

We have studied the thermodynamic properties of a multiferroic that couples ferromagnetic and ferroelectric order. Some of the results are independent of the form of the free energy. We calculate the temperature dependence of the electric,…

The spin Seebeck effect is a spin-motive force generated by a temperature gradient in a ferromagnet that can be detected via normal metal contacts through the inverse spin Hall effect [K. Uchida {\it et al.}, Nature {\bf 455}, 778-781…
