Observation of magnetic state dependent thermoelectricity in superconducting spin valves
arXiv:2301.03263 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.130.237001
Abstract
Superconductor-ferromagnet tunnel junctions demonstrate giant thermoelectric effects which are being exploited to engineer ultra-sensitive terahertz radiation detectors. Here, we experimentally observe the recently predicted complete magnetic control over thermoelectric effects in a superconducting spin valve, including the dependence of its sign on the magnetic state of the spin valve. The description of the experimental results is improved by the introduction of an interfacial domain wall in the spin filter layer interfacing the superconductor. Surprisingly, the application of high in-plane magnetic fields induces a double sign inversion of the thermoelectric effect, which exhibits large values even at applied fields twice the superconducting critical field.
