Thermoelectric material
The anomalous Nernst effect generates a voltage in a direction perpendicular to the applied temperature gradient, enabling a simplified thin-film thermoelectric device structure. Owing to its potential for high durability and low-cost fabrication, magnetic thermoelectric materials have attracted increasing attention in recent years. As an approach to enhancing their performance, systematic methods to increase the transverse Seebeck coefficient through interfaces and structural engineering have been proposed; however, the detailed physical origin of such enhancement remains unclear. In this study, we investigate the origin of the interface-induced enhancement of the transverse Seebeck coefficient using Si/Co multilayer structures.
