Proximity-free enhancement of anomalous Nernst effects in metallic multilayers

Abstract

The anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) has been investigated in alternately-stacked multilayer films comprising paramagnetic and ferromagnetic metals. We found that the ANE is enhanced with increasing the number of the paramagnet/ferromagnet interfaces with keeping the total thickness of the films constant, and that the enhancement appears even in the absence of magnetic proximity effects; similar behavior was observed not only in Pt/Fe multilayers but also in Au/Fe and Cu/Fe multilayers free from proximity ferromagnetism. This universal enhancement of the ANE in the metallic multilayers suggests the presence of unconventional interface-induced thermoelectric conversion in the Fe films attached to the paramagnets.
