Spin caloritronics is a field that combines thermoelectrics with spintronics and nanomagnetism, focusing on controlling heat currents through the electron spin degree of freedom. It explores the interplay between spin, charge, and entropy/energy transport in materials and nanoscale devices. The field has gained renewed attention due to its potential to address challenges posed by Moore's Law, such as the thermodynamic bottleneck limiting further miniaturization of electronic devices. Spin caloritronics is closely related to possible solutions for these problems by utilizing the electron spin degree of freedom. The basics of spin caloritronics involve the thermoelectric effects in metals, where the electron-hole asymmetry at the Fermi energy generates thermoelectric phenomena. A heat current can drag charges, generating a thermopower voltage or charge current. Conversely, a charge current can induce a heat current. The relationship between the local driving forces, such as voltage and temperature gradients, is described by the Onsager reciprocity principle. Spin caloritronics also involves the study of spin-dependent thermoelectric phenomena in metallic structures, including the magneto-Peltier and Seebeck effects, thermal Hall effects, and spin caloritronic Hall effects. These effects are influenced by the spin configuration of magnetic materials and can be observed in various devices such as spin valves, magnetic tunnel junctions, and spin caloritronic heat engines and motors. The spin Seebeck effect, a significant development in spin caloritronics, refers to the generation of an electromotive force by a ferromagnet with a temperature bias over a strip of metal normal to the heat current. This effect is attributed to a thermally induced spin current injected into the normal metal, which is transformed into a measurable voltage via the inverse spin Hall effect. Spin caloritronics has the potential to contribute to the development of new technologies for heat management and energy conversion, with applications in spintronic devices and thermoelectric materials. The field is still in its early stages, with many predicted effects yet to be observed experimentally. However, it holds promise for future advancements in nanoscale thermoelectric and spintronic devices.Spin caloritronics is a field that combines thermoelectrics with spintronics and nanomagnetism, focusing on controlling heat currents through the electron spin degree of freedom.
