| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research project, to dramatically improve the efficiency of thermoelectric conversion driven by a spin current, we investigated thermoelectric properties of the spin Seebeck effect in magnetic multilayer structures. We found that, in multilayer films comprising a ferrimagnetic insulator and a paramagnetic metal, the thermoelectric voltage induced by the spin Seebeck effect monotonically and substantially increases with increasing the number of the stacked layers. Based on systematic experimental results and phenomenological analyses, we developed strategies to further enhance the thermopower. In addition, by using multilayer films comprising ferromagnetic and paramagnetic metals, we also demonstrated that the thermoelectric voltage induced by the anomalous Nernst effect monotonically increases with increasing the interface density.
