We demonstrate that large magnitudes for all these quantities are obtainable in Josephson-based systems with either zero or a small externally applied magnetic field. This provides an alternative to the thermoelectric effects generated in high-field ($\\sim 1$ T) superconducting hybrid systems, which were recently experimentally demonstrated. The systems studied contain either textured ferromagnets, spin-active interfaces, or spin-orbit coupling. We present a framework for calculating the linear thermoelectric response for both spin and charge of a system upon applying temperature and voltage gradients based on quasiclassical theory which allows for arbitrary spin-dependent textures and fields to be conveniently incorporated.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-08-22T20:00:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spin seebeck effect", "superconducting hybrid", "magnetic textures", "spin-orbit coupling", "thermoelectric phenomena" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
