• Magneto-Seebeck experiment:
•Experimental verification
•Simulations of the temperature gradients
•Switching of Seebeck coefficients demonstrated
•Ab initio calculations
•Typical features are reproduced by the experiment
Summary
![Page 47: Magneto-Seebeck effect in magnetic tunnel junctions](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021009/6203a92ada24ad121e4bfd9c/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Increasing temporal resolutionSeebeck voltage autocorrelation:
• Femtosecond laser excitation (40 fs temporal resolution)
• Delay t in between the pulses
• Probes non-linearity of the Seebeck voltage
• ~80 ps time scale is the expected timescale when the maximum temperature difference is reached (from simulation)
