Spin Seebeck effect (SSE) is known as a novel heat-to-electricity converting effect and is effective not only
for metals and semiconductors but also for insulators. 1) Actually, SSE in (Mn,Zn)Fe2O4 (MZF) bulk has been
reported. 2) However, there have been no reports concerning to the SSE in the MZF thin films. In this work,
MZF/YSZ/Si(001) thin films were deposited using PLD, and the generation of SSE was investigated.
