Abstract

We theoretically and numerically study spin-dependent Seebeck and Nernst effects in 2D ferromagnetic materials with the topological spin texture (skyrmion and vortex) ideal gas. From the numerical solution of the matrix Boltzmann equation for a nonequilibrium distribution function and the Lippmann–Schwinger equation for a T-matrix we find the strong nonlinear behaviors in the thermoelectric coefficients depending on skyrmion/vortex diameters and electron concentrations. In particular, the dramatic dependences in the Seebeck and Nernst coefficients take place at larger magnetic texture sizes where the abrupt sign flip in the vortex Seebeck and Nernst coefficients occurs in the narrow region of electron concentrations. In this case the normalized Nernst coefficient changes from +5 to -7. The spin-dependent thermoelectric coefficients are proportional to T at low temperatures for all skyrmion/vortex sizes.
