We’re delighted for Dr. Carl (Yaoyang) Hu on the publication of his work on spin-Seebeck effect enhancements observed in platinum-yttrium iron garnet (Pt/YIG), where just a sprinkling (~2.5% coverage) of bismuth selenide nanoribbons increased the signal by ~700%!

This work from an EPSRC New Horizons grant with Prof Simon Woodward and Dr Oleg Makarovsky is in Applied Physics Letters and could help us find new materials to generate clean energy from wasted heat.
