Transverse thermoelectric generation using magnetic materials

The transverse thermoelectric effect refers to the conversion of a temperature gradient into charge current, or vice versa, which appears in conductor under magnetic field material with spontaneous magnetization. Among such phenomena, anomalous Nernst materials has been receiving increasing attention from viewpoints fundamental physics and applications owing rapid development spin caloritronics topological science. In this research trend, conceptually different phenomenon appearing thermoelectric/magnetic hybrid demonstrated, enabling generation large thermopower. Here, we review recent progress applied studies on using materials. We anticipate that perspective will further stimulate activities lead next-generation thermal energy harvesting heat-flux sensing technologies.
