摘要
In this paper we employ non equilibrium thermodynamics of fluxes and forces to describe magnetization and heat transport. By the theory we are able to identify the thermodynamic driving force of the magnetization current as the gradient of the effective field del H*. This definition permits to define the spin Seebeck coefficient epsilon(M) which relates del H* and the temperature gradient del T. By applying the theory to the geometry of the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect we are able to obtain the optimal conditions for generating large magnetization currents. Furthermore, by using the results of recent experiments, we obtain an order of magnitude for the value of epsilon(M) similar to 10(-2) TK-1 for yttrium iron garnet (Y3Fe5O12).
