We develop a theoretical model for describing the dependence of a thermally induced tunneling current across the MTJ on the in-plane orientation of the magnetization in the ferromagnetic layer. The model accounts for the specific Bychkov-Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions present in these systems, which are responsible for the $C_{2v}$ symmetry we find in the TAMT and the TASS.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-09-13T14:18:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "85.75.-d", "72.25.Mk", "73.50.Jt", "73.50.Lw" ], "keywords": [ "magnetic tunnel junction", "tunneling anisotropic thermopower", "seebeck effects", "dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions", "tunneling anisotropic magneto-thermopower" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevB.90.174426", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2014, "month": "Nov", "volume": 90, "number": 17, "pages": 174426 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014PhRvB..90q4426L" } } }
