Recently, significantly different values of the tunnel magneto-Seebeck effect (TMS) [1-5] have been reported when the material system of the magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) is changed. Ab initio calculations shine first light on the origin of these differences, as they propose a strong influence of the lead material on the TMS [6]. We applied an additional bias voltage VBias to MTJs while measuring the TMS.

This well-defined tuning of the electrodes’ Fermi level positions allows to compare the bias voltage dependence of the TMS with the theoretical predictions. We demonstrate drastically changing TMS ratios of up to 6000 % generated by the variation of the bias voltage. At certain values of VBias, an on/off behavior of the Seebeck voltage is found when the magnetization alignment of an MTJ is reversed. These findings are in good agreement with the ab into calculations [6].
