Abstract
The invention relates to a spin current thermal conversion device and a thermoelectric conversion device, with which a spin current is thermally generated, and its concrete application is realized.A temperature gradient creating means which creates a temperature gradient in a thermal spin current generating member is provided in a thermal spin current generating member made of either a ferromagnetic member or a conductive member containing a ferromagnetic substance.
