Thermoelectric Characteristics of STE Generator Fabricated From LPE Bi- and Al-Substituted YIG Films

Masaaki Imamura et al.

Summary: In this study, we optimized each component of a spin thermoelectric generator and observed its effect on the voltage. By substituting bismuth and aluminum for yttrium and iron in the iron garnet film, a significant increase in voltage was observed.

Characteristics of spin-thermoelectric generators enhanced by incorporating liquid phase epitaxial Bi-substituted YIG films as a ferrimagnetic insulator

M. Imamura et al.

Summary: Liquid phase epitaxial Bi-substituted YIG films exhibit a large growth-induced magnetic anisotropy perpendicular to the film surface. The anisotropy depends on the melt composition and supercooling in the growth process. Even at a Bi content of 0, the film shows a significant anisotropy. The spin-orbital coupling enhances the thermal energy transfer and increases spin currents for spin-thermoelectric generation.

Enhancement of the spin Seebeck effect owing to bismuth substitution in thermoelectric generators fabricated from LPE Bi-substituted YIG films

Masaaki Imamura et al.

Summary: Increasing the thermoelectric voltage in spin thermoelectric generators is crucial. By substituting bismuth for yttrium and growing bismuth-substituted iron garnet films by liquid phase epitaxy, the magnetic anisotropy perpendicular to the film surface is enhanced, leading to higher magnetic damping in the ferrimagnetic insulator (FMI) and ultimately increasing the voltage output in the generator.
