Applying a temperature gradient to a magnetic insulator results in a magnonic spin current response, a phenomenon that goes under the name “spin Seebeck effect” (SSE). To date the SSE has been measured in ferromagnets/ferrimagnets [1] or in collinear antiferromagnets in an external magnetic field [2]. However in zero field the SSE vanishes in collinear antiferromagnets [2] whereas noncollinear antiferromagnets exhibit a SSE, which we demonstrate theoretically by reference to the kagome antiferromagnet potassium iron jarosite. Our findings suggest to replace ferromagnets by antiferromagnets as the spin-active parts of next-generation spincaloritronic devices.
