The long-standing popularity of thermoelectric materials has contributed to the creation of
various thermoelectric devices and stimulated the development of strategies to improve their …

This article reviews static and dynamic interfacial effects in magnetism, focusing on
interfacially driven magnetic effects and phenomena associated with spin-orbit coupling and …

The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) refers to the generation of a spin current as a result of a
temperature gradient in magnetic materials including insulators. The SSE is applicable to …

Spin caloritronics refers to research efforts in spintronics when a heat current plays a role. In
this review, we start out by reviewing the predictions that can be drawn from the …

As an in-plane charge current flows in a heavy metal film with spin–orbit coupling, it
produces a torque on and thereby switches the magnetization in a neighbouring …

The growing market for sensors, Internet of Things, and wearable devices is fueling the
development of low-cost energy-harvesting materials and systems. Film based …

Pure spin current is of central importance in spintronics. Here, we propose a two-
dimensional (2D) spin-battery system that delivers pure spin current without an …

The photo-voltaic effect typically occurs in semiconductors and involves photon-driven
excitation of electrons from a valence band to a conduction band. In a region such as ap–n …

Generating pure spin currents is very desirable in spintronics, as it provides a promising way
to substantially reduce Joule heating and achieve ultrahigh integration density. However, to …

We report that the spin current generated by the spin Seebeck effect (SSE) in yttrium iron
garnet (YIG) can be detected by a ferromagnetic metal (NiFe). By using the ferromagnetic …
