Controlling thermoelectric conversion in magnetic materials by magnetization direction

"anisotropic magneto-Thomson effect (Seebeck and Peltier are other driving effects of thermoelectric conversion) where heat absorption/release proportional to applied temperature difference and charge current (Thomson effect) changes anisotropically depending magnetic direction: heat release generated in Ni95Pt5 alloy larger when temperature gradient and charge current parallel (not perpendicular) magnetization... improved efficiency and energy conservation... fusion area of thermoelectrics and spintronics"
