Large Anomalous Nernst Angle in Co2MnGa Thin Film

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Simon Granville, Junfeng Hu, Yao Zhang, Song Liu

The new trends for anomalous Nernst effect (ANE)-based thermoelectric devices require materials with large ANE values to realize the scalable generation of voltage. Recently, very large ANE values have been observed in single crystals of some novel magneti ...

Regulating the anomalous Hall and Nernst effects in Heusler-based trilayers

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Simon Granville, Sa Tu, Junfeng Hu, Song Liu

Anomalous Hall and anomalous Nernst properties of thin MgO/Co-2Fe0.4Mn0.6Si/Pd stacks with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) revealed the presence of the magnetic proximity effect (MPE) in the Pd layer. The MPE is evidenced by nanometer range thickne ...

Anomalous Nernst effect in Co2MnGa thin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Simon Granville, Sa Tu, Junfeng Hu, Yao Zhang, Song Liu

The thermoelectric and transport properties of MgO/Co2MnGa/Pd stacks with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy were measured. For a nominal 3.3 nm Co2MnGa thickness, the anomalous Nernst coefficient and the Nernst angle at room temperature were found to be 0. ...

Spin-Dependent Thermoelectric Transport in Cobalt-Based Heusler Alloys

Haiming Yu, Simon Granville, Junfeng Hu

Sitting at the intersection of spintronics and thermoelectricity, research investigating the coupling of thermoelectric, magnetic, and electrical transport properties in materials has recently found that the ferromagnetic Heusler alloys are the ideal testb ...

Cu codoping control over magnetic precipitate formation in ZnCoO nanowires

Simon Granville

Using electrodeposition, we have grown nanowires of ZnCoO with Cu codoping concentrations varying from 4-10 at. %, controlled only by the deposition potential. We demonstrate control over magnetic Co oxide nano-precipitate formation in the nanowires via th ...

Low-temperature hopping and absence of spin-dependent transport in single crystals of cobalt-doped ZnO

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Simon Granville

Long needle-shaped single crystals of Zn1-xCoxO were grown at low temperatures using a molten salt solvent technique, up to x=0.10. The conduction process at low temperatures is determined to be Mott variable range hopping. Both pristine and cobalt-doped c ...

Nearest-neighbor Mn antiferromagnetic exchange in Ga(1-x)MnxN

Simon Granville, Harry Joseph Trodahl

We analyze the magnetic behavior of well-characterized, precipitate-free Ga1-xMnxN thin films containing Mn at higher levels than previously attained; up to x=0.36. This level is above the percolation threshold x(c) for nearest-neighbor cations, such that ...

Second Harmonic Detection of Spin-Dependent Transport in Magnetic Nanostructures

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Simon Granville

Detection of the second harmonic response of magnetic nanostructures to an ac current is shown to be a very sensitive probe of the magnetization reversal process. A temperature oscillation is obtained by Joule heating instead of using a laser as the heat s ...

Temperature derivative of the resistance of spin valves

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Simon Granville, Julie Dubois

Spin-dependent transport properties of nanowires containing individual Co/Cu/Co pseudo-spin valves were investigated by monitoring an AC voltage induced by a temperature oscillation under a continuous DC current. We observed sharp peaks in the field-depend ...

Electrodeposition and Characterization of Bismuth Telluride Nanowires

Simon Granville

In this work, we report thermoelectric measurements on electroplated bismuth telluride nanowires. Porous polycarbonate membranes, obtained by ion-track irradiation lithography, were chosen as electroplating templates. Bismuth telluride nanowires were achie ...
