【 摘 要 】

Spin transport driven by the temperature gradient in ferromagnetic metals is studied based on a microscopic theory. It is shown that the temperature gradient works as an effective field equivalent to the electric field as for both the spin current generation and the spin-relaxation torque. The thermally driven contribution of the spin current and the relaxation torque are thus proportional to del T and del(2)T, respectively.
