Description:

Thermal imaging technology has significantly advanced the fields of thermal engineering and fundamental physics by providing precise and non-contact temperature measurements. In the field of spin caloritronics, an active infrared emission microscopy based on the lock-in thermography (LIT) has greatly developed thermoelectric and thermal transport physics in magnetic materials and their hybrid structures, but measurements have been limited to at or above room temperature. Here, we report on the measurements of transverse thermoelectric conversion in a magnetic material, the anomalous Ettingshausen effect (AEE), below room temperature using the LIT technique. Although the infrared emission decreases with decreasing temperature, LIT with the high temperature resolution allows to observe the AEE-induced temperature modulation in a ferromagnetic Heusler alloy Co2MnGa slab down to 200 K and reliably quantify the anomalous Nernst coefficient down to around 240 K. The methodology demonstrated in this work will pave the way for further developments in both fundamental research and practical applications in spin caloritronics.
