Spin caloritronics

The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) is of much interest in the modern era of the field of spin caloritronics due to its unique property of thermal actuation of pure spin currents in magnetic. In the SSE, the efficiently of creation of the spin current density across the interface under a certain gradient {\grad T} depends on the real part of the spin mixing conductance Gr. The spin mixing conductance Gr and therefore the SSE are very sensitive to the interface quality.

The goal of the project is to optimize the interface parameters to improve the spin mixing conductance and therefore the efficiency of the SSE.
