Abstract
We report the anomalous Nernst effect in trilayers containing a thin film of the half-metallic ferromagnetic Heusler alloy Co2Fe0.4Mn0.6Si with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. The structure is MgO/CFMS/Pd and we have studied the variation of anomalous Hall and Nernst effects as a function of CFMS and Pd thickness. The anomalous Nernst coefficient reaches 0.5 μV/K at room temperature and we have observed a strong dependence of the anomalous Nernst coefficient on the thickness of both layers. Our results indicate that inducing perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in a strongly spin-polarising Heusler alloy such as CFMS is very promising for new thermoelectric devices based on exploiting the anomalous Nernst effect.
