Abstract
Recent discovery of 2D van der Waals magnetic materials has spurred progress in developing advanced spintronic devices. A central challenge lies in enhancing the spin-conversion efficiency for building spin-logic or spin-memory devices. Here, the anomalous Hall and Nernst effects are systematically investigated to uncover significant spin-conversion effects in above-room-temperature van der Waals ferromagnet FeGaTe with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. The anomalous Hall effect demonstrates an efficient electric spin-charge conversion with a notable spin Hall angle of over 6%. In addition, the anomalous Nernst effect produces a significant transverse voltage at room temperature without a magnetic field, displaying unique temperature dependence with a maximum transverse Seebeck coefficient of 440 nVK-1 and a Nernst angle of ≈62%. Such an innovative thermoelectric signal arises from the efficient thermo-spin conversion effect, where the up-spin and down-spin electrons move in opposite directions under a temperature gradient. The present study highlights the potential of FeGaTe to enhance thermoelectric devices through efficient thermo-spin conversion without the need for a magneticfield.
