Abstract

The thermo-spin conversion provides new concepts for further developing the green energy-harvesting technology because spin can be controlled with minimal energy in nanostructures. Through theoretical analysis of thermo-spin generation, transportation and conversion in ferromagnet/non-ferromagnet/heavy metal (FM/NM/HM) vertical structures, we found that the output transverse thermo-spin voltage is independent of the structure’s width, but varies linearly with the structure’s length. To validate our predictions, we fabricated the thermo-spin devices with a CoFeAl/Cu/Pt structure. Our results indicate that FM/NM/HM structures can be utilized to design flexible thermo-spin conversion devices.
