Nonlocal Drag Thermoelectricity Generated by Ferroelectric Heterostructures

Abstract
The \textquotedblleft ferron\textquotedblright\ excitations of the electric-dipolar order carry energy as well as electric dipoles. Here we predict a nonlocal ferron drag effect in a ferroelectric on top of a metallic film: An electric current in the conductor generates a heat current in the ferroelectric by long-range charge-dipole interactions. The non-local Peltier and its reciprocal Seebeck effect can be controlled by electric gates and detected thermographically. We predict large effects for van der Waals ferroelectric films on graphene.
