Summary

• What is new: An investigation of Anomalous Nernst Effect (ANE) in amorphous ferrimagnetic GdCo alloys for Heat Flux Sensor (HFS) applications, revealing several advantages over current materials.
• Why this is important: Existing HFS devices are expensive and require sensitive calibration due to fabrication challenges.
• What the research proposes: Utilizing GdCo alloys for HFS, exploiting their ANE properties, to overcome cost and fabrication challenges.
• Results: GdCo films demonstrated unparalleled sensitivity, the ability for both positive and negative ANE, versatility in deposition, and a small longitudinal Seebeck coefficient, making them promising materials for HFS technology.
