Thermoelectric effects in spin valves based on layered magnetic structures

General aspects of thermoelectric effects in spin valves consisting of two magnetic layers separated by a nonmagnetic spacing layer are considered, with the main focus on the spin Seebeck effects. The Seebeck and spin Seebeck effects are considered in both current-in-plane and current-perpendicular-to-plane geometries. The corresponding thermopower and spin thermopower in the macroscopic limit of electronic transport are also considered. Physical origin of the spin effects is discussed in detail.The National Science Center in Poland as the Project No. DEC- 2012/04/A/ST3/00372.http://info.ifpan.edu.pl/APP/http://przyrbwn.icm.edu.pl/APP/apphome.htmlam2017Physic
