论文摘要
已知巨型热电效应是在超导体和强化的铁磁体之间的界面上产生的,从而实现了有效的热电发生器的构建。我们预测,这种发电机的热电器可以通过磁输入信号完全控制:不仅可以通过旋转磁铁来打开和关闭热电器,而且甚至可以完全反转。该原位控制与传统的热电学不同,其中热电器通常由设备设计固定。
Giant thermoelectric effects are known to arise at the interface between superconductors and strongly polarized ferromagnets, enabling the construction of efficient thermoelectric generators. We predict that the thermopower of such a generator can be completely controlled by a magnetic input signal: Not only can the thermopower be toggled on and off by rotating a magnet, but it can even be entirely reversed. This in situ control diverges from conventional thermoelectrics, where the thermopower is usually fixed by the device design.
