Spin caloritronics: a growing field? But still a fraction of heattronics!

Hall effect sensors Wikipedia: A Hall effect sensor is a transducer that varies its output voltage in response to changes in magnetic field. Hall sensors are used for proximity switching, positioning, speed detection, and current sensing applications. The magnetic piston (1) in this pneumatic cylinder will cause the Hall effect sensors (2 and 3) mounted on its outer wall to activate when it is fully retracted or extended

Ettingshausen Cooler ❆ Particle-hole symmetry required to prevent Vh from stopping heat transport by the majority carrier. ❆ Both carriers contribute to heat pumping. ❆ Thomson heat is zero (je·jq=0). ❆ No doping required so that semimetals ( no gap) are OK, and in fact best efficiency occurs when thermopower is zero (S=0)!!! ❆ Magnetoresistance reduces je · Ebatt and ups je. XEbatt. Slide from Albert Migliori

Berry Phase, Orbital Magnetization and Anomalous Transport Qian Niu Currents driven by statistical force Statistical forces such as ▽m, ▽T do not enter into the equation of motion, therefore there is no anomalous velocity term. How does a transverse current arise in this situation? • Einstein relation: The equivalence between the electric field and gradient of chemical potential. • Mott relation: The accompany of a heat current to a charge current. • Onsager relation: Symmetry between cross transport coefficients connecting thermoelectric Hall currents and forces.

VERY speculative comments and questions

How can a “dissipationless” Hall current give rise to a heat current? • How to define heat current in magnetic systems when interactions are important? • Is it USEFUL? or use. LESS? • What about side-jump, etc. ? • Can it lead to any meaningful cooling?

High ZT is related to topological protected states Prediction: ZT will be MUCH larger in Hg. Te wells in the inverted regime

Spin Seebeck Effect: real or artifact?

Can ANY spin thermoelectric effects lead to effective cooling of switches?
