Popis: We report on temperature dependent measurements of the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (LSSE) in the mixed valent manganite ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.7}{\mathrm{Ca}}_{0.3}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$. By disentangling the contribution arising due to the anisotropic Nernst effect, we observe that in the low temperature regime, the LSSE exhibits a ${T}^{0.5}$ dependence, which matches well with that predicted by the magnon-driven spin current model. Across the double exchange driven paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition, the LSSE exponent is significantly higher than the magnetization one, and also depends on the thickness of the spin-to-charge conversion layer. These observations highlight the importance of individually ascertaining the temperature evolution of different mechanisms---especially the spin mixing conductance---which contribute to the measured spin Seebeck signal.
