Large Spin-Dependent Thermoelectric Effects in NiFe-based Interconnected Nanowire Networks.

ABSTRACT: NiFe alloy and NiFe/Cu multilayered nanowire (NW) networks were grown using a template-assisted electrochemical synthesis method. The NiFe alloy NW networks exhibit large thermopower, which is largely preserved in the current perpendicular-to-plane geometry of the multilayered NW structure. Giant magneto-thermopower (MTP) effects have been demonstrated in multilayered NiFe/Cu NWs with a value of 25% at 300 K and reaching 60% around 100 K. A large spin-dependent Seebeck coefficient of -12.3 ?V/K was obtained at room temperature. The large MTP effects demonstrate a magnetic approach to control thermoelectric properties of flexible devices based on NW networks.

Making flexible spin caloritronic devices with interconnected nanowire networks.

Project description:Spin caloritronics has recently emerged from the combination of spintronics and thermoelectricity. Here, we show that flexible, macroscopic spin caloritronic devices based on large-area interconnected magnetic nanowire networks can be used to enable controlled Peltier cooling of macroscopic electronic components with an external magnetic field. We experimentally demonstrate that three-dimensional CoNi/Cu multilayered nanowire networks exhibit an extremely high, magnetically modulated thermoelectric power factor up to 7.5 mW/K2m and large spin-dependent Seebeck and Peltier coefficients of -11.5 ?V/K and -3.45 mV at room temperature, respectively. Our investigation reveals the possibility of performing efficient magnetic control of heat flux for thermal management of electronic devices and constitutes a simple and cost-effective pathway for fabrication of large-scale flexible and shapeable thermoelectric coolers exploiting the spin degree of freedom.

Large-scale 3-D interconnected Ni nanotube networks with controlled structural and magnetic properties.

Project description:Large-scale, electrically interconnected three-dimensional (3-D) Ni crossed nanotube networks have been fabricated using an electrochemical dealloying method within the crossed nanopores of polymer host membranes. This method paves the way for the easy and cost-effective fabrication of 3-D magnetic NT networks with precise spatial arrangement and diameter and wall thickness of 10-100?nm controlled individually. The excellent control over geometrical parameters and morphological features of the Ni crossed nanotube networks leads to tunable magnetic and magneto-transport properties. Particularly, the low field magneto-transport behavior is consistent with the expected vortex-like states formed in different segments of the nanotube scaffold, whereas nucleation of domain walls at the intersection of the nanowire segments play a dominant role in the solid crossed nanowire networks counterpart. The present 3-D networks of nanomagnets are of special interest due to their potential for memory devices, computing architectures, sensing and biomedical applications.

Breathing synchronization in interconnected networks.

Project description:Global synchronization in a complex network of oscillators emerges from the interplay between its topology and the dynamics of the pairwise interactions among its numerous components. When oscillators are spatially separated, however, a time delay appears in the interaction which might obstruct synchronization. Here we study the synchronization properties of interconnected networks of oscillators with a time delay between networks and analyze the dynamics as a function of the couplings and communication lag. We discover a new breathing synchronization regime, where two groups appear in each network synchronized at different frequencies. Each group has a counterpart in the opposite network, one group is in phase and the other in anti-phase with their counterpart. For strong couplings, instead, networks are internally synchronized but a phase shift between them might occur. The implications of our findings on several socio-technical and biological systems are discussed.

A scalable molecule-based magnetic thin film for spin-thermoelectric energy conversion.

Project description:Spin thermoelectrics, an emerging thermoelectric technology, offers energy harvesting from waste heat with potential advantages of scalability and energy conversion efficiency, thanks to orthogonal paths for heat and charge flow. However, magnetic insulators previously used for spin thermoelectrics pose challenges for scale-up due to high temperature processing and difficulty in large-area deposition. Here, we introduce a molecule-based magnetic film for spin thermoelectric applications because it entails versatile synthetic routes in addition to weak spin-lattice interaction and low thermal conductivity. Thin films of CrII[CrIII(CN)6], Prussian blue analogue, electrochemically deposited on Cr electrodes at room temperature show effective spin thermoelectricity. Moreover, the ferromagnetic resonance studies exhibit an extremely low Gilbert damping constant ~(2.4 ± 0.67) × 10-4, indicating low loss of heat-generated magnons. The demonstrated STE applications of a new class of magnet will pave the way for versatile recycling of ubiquitous waste heat.

Large-area soft-imprinted nanowire networks as light trapping transparent conductors.

Project description:Using soft-imprint nanolithography, we demonstrate large-area application of engineered two-dimensional polarization-independent networks of silver nanowires as transparent conducting electrodes. These networks have high optical transmittance, low electrical sheet resistance, and at the same time function as a photonic light-trapping structure enhancing optical absorption in the absorber layer of thin-film solar cells. We study the influence of nanowire width and pitch on the network transmittance and sheet resistance, and demonstrate improved performance compared to ITO. Next, we use P3HT-PCBM organic solar cells as a model system to show the realization of nanowire network based functional devices. Using angle-resolved external quantum efficiency measurements, we demonstrate engineered light trapping by coupling to guided modes in the thin absorber layer of the solar cell. Concurrent to the direct observation of controlled light trapping we observe a reduction in photocurrent as a result of increased reflection and parasitic absorption losses; such losses can be minimized by re-optimization of the NW network geometry. Together, these results demonstrate how engineered 2D NW networks can serve as multifunctional structures that unify the functions of a transparent conductor and a light trapping structure. These results are generic and can be applied to any type of optoelectronic device.

Thermoelectric Characteristics of A Single-Crystalline Topological Insulator Bi2Se3 Nanowire.

Project description:The discovery of topological insulators (TIs) has motivated detailed studies on their physical properties, especially on their novel surface states via strong spin-orbit interactions. However, surface-state-related thermoelectric properties are rarely reported, likely because of the involvement of their bulk-dominating contribution. In this work, we report thermoelectric studies on a TI bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) nanowire (NW) that exhibit a larger surface/volume ratio. Uniform single-crystalline TI Bi2Se3 NWs were successfully synthesized using a stress-induced growth method. To achieve the study of the thermoelectric properties of a nanowire (NW), including electrical conductivity (σ), Seebeck coefficient (S), and thermal conductivity (κ), a special platform for simultaneously performing all measurements on a single wire was designed. The properties of σ, S, and κ of a 200 nm NW that was well precharacterized using transmission electron microscope (TEM) measurements were determined using the four-probe method, the two-probe EMF across ∇T measurement, and the 3ω technique, respectively. The integrated TE properties represented by the figure of merit ZT (S2σT/κ) were found to be in good agreement with a theoretical study of Bi2Se3 NW.

Navigability of interconnected networks under random failures.

Project description:Assessing the navigability of interconnected networks (transporting information, people, or goods) under eventual random failures is of utmost importance to design and protect critical infrastructures. Random walks are a good proxy to determine this navigability, specifically the coverage time of random walks, which is a measure of the dynamical functionality of the network. Here, we introduce the theoretical tools required to describe random walks in interconnected networks accounting for structure and dynamics inherent to real systems. We develop an analytical approach for the covering time of random walks in interconnected networks and compare it with extensive Monte Carlo simulations. Generally speaking, interconnected networks are more resilient to random failures than their individual layers per se, and we are able to quantify this effect. As an application--which we illustrate by considering the public transport of London--we show how the efficiency in exploring the multiplex critically depends on layers' topology, interconnection strengths, and walk strategy. Our findings are corroborated by data-driven simulations, where the empirical distribution of check-ins and checks-out is considered and passengers travel along fastest paths in a network affected by real disruptions. These findings are fundamental for further development of searching and navigability strategies in real interconnected systems.

Parametric excitation and mode control using an Oersted field in a NiFe nanowire.

Project description:Parametric pumping is a nonlinear wave phenomenon and a promising technique for electronic devices based on spin waves, so-called "magnonics". For parametric excitation, a magnetic nanowire system that has a built-in dc current line to produce an Oersted field is designed, and for spin wave detection, a micro-Brillouin light scattering (μ-BLS) system is used. A spin wave with a frequency of fsw = 5.6 GHz is observed when a pumping microwave with a frequency of fmw = 11.2 GHz is applied. The wave is found to be of the n = 1 width mode (n is the antinode number), and its mode changes to an edge-localized (or possibly n > 1) mode when the Oersted field (or current) varies. Joule heating effects are not observed in the pumping process. Thus, spin wave mode control by the built-in current would be a convenient and useful method to enhance the efficiency and compatibility in applications of spin-based electronics.

Room temperature spin valve effect in NiFe/WS₂/Co junctions.

Project description:The two-dimensional (2D) layered electronic materials of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have been recently proposed as an emerging canddiate for spintronic applications. Here, we report the exfoliated single layer WS2-intelayer based spin valve effect in NiFe/WS2/Co junction from room temperature to 4.2 K. The ratio of relative magnetoresistance in spin valve effect increases from 0.18% at room temperature to 0.47% at 4.2 K. We observed that the junction resistance decreases monotonically as temperature is lowered. These results revealed that semiconducting WS2 thin film works as a metallic conducting interlayer between NiFe and Co electrodes.
