Spin-flip enhanced thermoelectricity in superconductor-ferromagnet bilayers

Spin-flip enhanced thermoelectricity in superconductor-ferromagnet bilayers

We study the effects of spin-splitting and spin-flip scattering in a superconductor (S) on the thermoelectric (TE) properties of a tunneling contact to a metallic ferromagnet (F) using the Green’s function method. A giant thermopower has been theoretically predicted and experimentally observed in su...
