Abstract
We present results on the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (LSSE) shown by semiconducting ferrimagnetic NiFeO/Pt films from room temperature down to 50 K base temperature. The temperature dependence of the conductivity has been studied in parallel to obtain information about the origin of the electric potentials detected at the Pt coverage of the ferrimagnet in order to distinguish the LSSE from the anomalous Nernst effect. Furthermore, the dependence of the LSSE on temperature gradients as well as the influence of an external magnetic field direction is investigated.
