Popis: Abstract NiFe alloy and NiFe/Cu multilayered nanowire (NW) networks were grown using a template-assisted electrochemical synthesis method. The NiFe alloy NW networks exhibit large thermopower, which is largely preserved in the current perpendicular-to-plane geometry of the multilayered NW structure. Giant magneto-thermopower (MTP) effects have been demonstrated in multilayered NiFe/Cu NWs with a value of 25% at 300 K and reaching 60% around 100 K. A large spin-dependent Seebeck coefficient of –12.3 μV/K was obtained at room temperature. The large MTP effects demonstrate a magnetic approach to control thermoelectric properties of flexible devices based on NW networks.
