Abstract

We report the observation of the anisotropic magneto-Thomson effect (AMTE), which is one of the higher-order thermoelectric effects in a ferromagnet. Using lock-in thermography, we demonstrated that in a ferromagnetic NiPt alloy, the cooling or heating induced by the Thomson effect depends on the angle between the magnetization direction and the temperature gradient or charge current applied to the alloy. AMTE observed here is the missing ferromagnetic analog of the magneto-Thomson effect in a nonmagnetic conductor, providing the basis for nonlinear spin caloritronics and thermoelectrics.
