Organic Magnet Mediated Spintronic Heat-Energy Exchange

自旋-塞贝克效应(SSE)的应用在2008/10年度才得到演示，它有可能使新型的大面积单层热电(TE)器件在近环境温度下用于热能交换(余热回收或微型Peltier冷却)。目前的SSE研究演示(基于涂有铂的合成石榴石)不适合也不可持续地应用于现实世界。我们提出了两种新的方法来获得更可持续、更低成本的SSE器件：(I)在SSE和金属层之间使用促进有机界面以促进自旋转移出SSE层；(Ii)用更可持续的金属取代铂金属层。

Application of the Spin-Seebeck-Effect (SSE), only demonstrated in 2008/10, potentially allows new types of large area single layer thermoelectric (TE) devices for heat-energy exchange (waste heat energy recovery or micro Peltier cooling) under near ambient temperature applications. Present SSE research demonstrations (based on synthetic garnets coated with Pt) are unsuited and unsustainable for real-World application. We proposed two new ways to attain more sustainable, lower cost SSE devices: (i) Use of a facilitating organic interface between the SSE and metal layers to facilitate spin transfer out of the SSE layer; (ii) replacement of the Pt metal layer by more sustainable metals.
