For caloritronic experiments, it is of crucial importance to control the direction and amplitude of temperature gradients within a given sample. We have implemented and compared different methods to apply and measure longitudinal and transverse temperature gradients in a (Ga,Mn)As thin film. We further studied the anisotropic magneto-thermopower (AMTP), i.e. the characteristic dependence of the thermopower with respect to the orientation of the magnetization vector. Our data show that the AMTP can be adequately modeled only if the symmetry of the (Ga,Mn)As crystal is explicitly taken into account. We quantitatively compare the AMTP data with the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) data taken on the same (113) - oriented (Ga,Mn)As thin film and with corresponding model calculations. Moreover, we address the differences between the magneto-resistance and the magneto-thermopower coefficients. Financial support by DFG via SPP 1538 is gratefully acknowledged.
