Magneto-thermoelectric effect in ferromagnet (FM)/non-magnet (NM) bilayer by illumination of laser.
(a) Schematic experimental configuration. The arrow in FM layer indicates the magnetization direction and those in NM are spin orientation of the thermally injected electrons. (b) Thermoelectric voltage V and magneto-thermoelectric voltage ΔV of the CFB/Ta sample of 0.4 mm width vs in-plane magnetic field. (c) Dependence of the ΔV on laser power intensity. The solid line is a linear fit. (d) The angular dependence of ΔV when applying H with an in-plane angle of ϕ. The solid curve is a fit to cosine function.
