Spin-fluctuation drag thermopower of nearly ferromagnetic metals.
We investigate theoretically the Seebeck effect in materials close to a ferromagnetic quantum critical point to explain anomalous behaviour at low temperatures. It is found that the main effect of spin fluctuations is to enhance the coefficient of the leading T-linear term, and a quantum critical behaviour characterized by a spin-fluctuation temperature appears in the temperature dependence of ...
متن کاملUniversal thermopower of bad metals
“Bad metals” are known to have a large linear resistivity at highT that is universally seen near the Mott-Hubbard insulating phase. Less well known is that the thermopower α(T ) of the Mott-Hubbard systems also exhibits simple universal features: (i) close to the insulating phase, where the resistivity has a low-temperature upturn, α(T ) has a pronounced low-T peak that shifts to higher T with ...
متن کامل0 Spin Injection from Ferromagnetic Metals into Gallium Nitride
The injection of spin polarized electrons from ferromagnetic metals (Fe and Co) into gallium nitride (GaN) via scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is demonstrated. Electrons from STM tips are injected into the semiconductor. Net circular polarization of the emitted light is observed, which changes sign on reversal of the magnetization of the tip. The polarization is found to be in qualitative a...
متن کاملSignature of phonon drag thermopower in periodically modulated structures
A theory is presented to interpret the phonon drag magneto-thermopower oscillations observed in a periodically modulated two-dimensional electron gas. The thermoelectric and phonon drag tensors are obtained by solving a Boltzmann equation driven by an anisotropic electron-phonon scattering rate reflecting the twofold symmetry of the Fermi surface. It is shown that commensurability oscillations ...
متن کاملSpin drag in an ultracold fermi gas on the verge of ferromagnetic instability.
Recent experiments [Jo, Science 325, 1521 (2009)] have presented evidence of ferromagnetic correlations in a two-component ultracold Fermi gas with strong repulsive interactions. Motivated by these experiments we consider spin drag, i.e., frictional drag due to scattering of particles with opposite spin, in such systems. We show that when the ferromagnetic state is approached from the normal si...
