Colossal Spincaloritronic Cooling by Adiabatic Spin-Entropy Expansion in Nanospintronics
ORAL
Abstract
The exchange interactions in DMS are short ranged and can not play an important role for realizing high-T$_C$ because the solubility of magnetic impurity is too low to achieve magnetic percolation [1]. We show that spinodal nano-decomposition under layer-by-layer crystal growth condition (2D) leads to characteristic quasi-one dimensional nano-structures (Konbu- Phase) with highly anisotropic shape and high T$_C$ ($\rangle$ 1000K) even for low concentrations in DMS [2]. We design a spin-currents- controlled 100 Tera bits/icnh$^2$, Tera Hz switching, and non- volatile MRAM without Si-CMOS based on Konbu-Phase [3]. In addition to the conventional Peltier effect, we propose a colossal spincaloritronic cooling based on the adiabatic spin- entropy expansion in a Konbu-Phase (Zn,Cr)Te with very high blocking temperature (T$_B$ $\rangle$ 1000 K) by spinodal nano- decomposition and by nano-column of Half-Heusler NiMnSi (T$_C$ = 1050 K) [4].
