Magnon Hall effect and anisotropic thermal transport in NiFe and YIG ferromagnets
arXiv:1412.3723
Abstract
The Righi-Leduc effect refers to the thermal analogue of the Hall effect, for which the electric current is replaced by the heat current and the electric field by the temperature gradient. In both cases, the magnetic field generates a transverse force that deviates the carriers (electron, phonon, magnon) in the direction perpendicular to the current. In a ferromagnet, the magnetization plays the role of the magnetic field, and the corresponding effect is called anomalous Hall effect. Furthermore, a second transverse contribution due to the anisotropy, the planar Hall effect, is superimposed to the anomalous Hall effect. We report experimental evidence of the thermal counterpart of the Hall effects in ferromagnets, namely the magnon Hall effect (or equivalently the anomalous Righi-Leduc effect) and the planar Righi-Leduc effect, measured on ferromagnets that are either electrical conductor (NiFe) or insulator (YIG). The study shows the universal character of these new thermokinetic effects, related to the intrinsic chirality of the anisotropic ferromagnetic degrees of freedom.
