We consider coupled spin and heat transport in a two-component atomic Bose gas in the noncondensed state. We find that the transport coefficients show a temperature dependence reflecting the bosonic enhancement of scattering and discuss experimental signatures of the spin-heat coupling in spin accumulation, spin separation, and total dissipation. Close to the critical temperature for Bose-Einstein condensation, we find that the spin-heat coupling is strongly reduced, which is also reflected in the spin caloritronics figure of merit that determines the thermodynamic efficiency of spin-heat conversion. |
