Abstract
In order to further improve the spin-current/electric-current conversion efficiency in a spin-current thermoelectric conversion element, a thermoelectric conversion element includes a magnetic material layer having in-plane magnetization; and an electromotive material layer magnetically coupled with the magnetic material layer. The electromotive material layer includes a first conductor with a spin orbit coupling arising, and a second conductor having lower electric conductivity than electric conductivity of the first conductor.
