The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

The authors try to establish that subtle structural heterogeneity, not full crystallization, is what most strongly enhances the anomalous Ettingshausen effect (transverse charge-to-heat conversion) in a magnetic amorphous alloy. They do this by annealing one Fe-based ribbon under a one-dimensional temperature gradient so that each point along the ribbon represents a different annealing state, then imaging the AEE response with lock-in thermography. The AEE rises to a peak at an intermediate position, then falls; this peak sits well before crystallization sets in, and it is invisible in X-ray diffraction and in ordinary electrical and thermal transport measurements. If true, transverse thermoelectric measurements are uniquely sensitive probes of atomic-scale disorder, and a single graded sample can serve as a high-throughput platform for material optimization.

What carries the argument

The central object is a temperature-gradient-annealed ribbon that serves as a one-dimensional library of structural states, with position x standing in for annealing temperature. The probe is lock-in thermography: a square-wave current drives the sample, and the field-odd component of the lock-in amplitude (Aodd) isolates the anomalous Ettingshausen effect from Peltier and Joule contributions. Supporting decomposition of the anomalous Nernst conductivity (with an assumed Onsager relation) separates the dominant ANE-related term from the Hall-deflected Seebeck term, attributing the peak to the former.

What would settle it

Measure the true annealing-temperature profile along the ribbon (e.g., with a thin thermocouple array or temperature-sensitive phase-transition markers), or anneal discrete ribbons at a series of known temperatures and check that the AEE peak appears at the temperature inferred for x = 70–80 mm. A non-monotonic Ta(x) or a shift of the peak in the discrete series would undercut the structural assignment.

Extended reading notes

Core claim

On the authors' own terms, annealing a melt-spun Fe79Si4B14Nb2Cu1 ribbon under a temperature gradient produces a functionally graded material whose local annealing state varies continuously along its length. Lock-in thermography maps the field-odd, current-induced temperature oscillation at every point, isolating the anomalous Ettingshausen effect. The resulting AEE amplitude profile is non-monotonic: it rises from 4.90 mK at the cold end, peaks at approximately 6.65 mK at x = 70–80 mm, and then declines, with a steep drop near the crystallization onset at x ≈ 110 mm. Structural analysis by STEM and APT finds Fe-based crystalline alloys and Cu nanoclusters (average 1.7 nm diameter) embedded

Load-bearing premise

The claim leans on the assumption that each position x along the 130-mm ribbon corresponds to a distinct, monotonically increasing annealing temperature; the actual Ta(x) profile was never measured, so the structural meaning of the peak at x = 70–80 mm rests on an inferred mapping rather than a calibrated one.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • A single heterogeneity-graded sample mapped by lock-in thermography can replace discrete annealing series for locating the optimum transverse thermoelectric response.
  • Transverse thermoelectric measurements can detect atomic-scale structural heterogeneity that lab-scale X-ray diffraction and longitudinal electrical/thermal transport measurements miss.
  • The AEE peak appears in the pre-crystallization (atomic-heterogeneity) regime rather than at full crystallization, pointing to cu-nanocluster-driven interfacial scattering as a design lever.
  • If the curvature is representative, the high-performing region of the ribbon retains mechanical flexibility, making it suitable for flexible transverse thermoelectric devices.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • The same FGM-plus-LIT methodology could be extended to map other transverse transport coefficients—anomalous Hall effect, spin Peltier effect—across structural gradients, turning a single sample into a continuous phase diagram.
  • Because the position-to-temperature mapping is not calibrated, a direct thermocouple measurement of the annealing-temperature profile along the ribbon would tighten the structural interpretation and could be used to assign an absolute temperature scale to every x-position.
  • If the pre-crystallization peak is a general feature of magnetic amorphous alloys, device design could deliberately target the disorder-enhanced window instead of avoiding it, preserving flexibility while maximizing conversion.

Referee Report

4 major / 4 minor

Summary. The manuscript reports a functionally graded Fe79Si4B14Nb2Cu1 amorphous ribbon produced by annealing a melt-spun ribbon under a one-dimensional temperature gradient in a tube furnace. Using lock-in thermography (LIT), the authors map the field-odd component of the lock-in amplitude (Aodd) along the ribbon and observe a non-monotonic profile that peaks at x = 70–80 mm, before the XRD crystallization onset near x = 110 mm. STEM and APT on the peak region show an amorphous matrix containing Cu nanoclusters, which the authors interpret as the source of enhanced anomalous Ettingshausen effect (AEE). They further convert Aodd to an anomalous Nernst conductivity αANE using standard transport relations and compare three representative positions (TL, TM, TH). The central claim is that transverse thermoelectric conversion is exceptionally sensitive to subtle structural heterogeneity and that the FGM+LIT approach is a high-throughput route to optimize such materials.

Significance. If the central claim is correct, the work is significant: it demonstrates that a single gradient-annealed ribbon, combined with LIT imaging, can replace discrete annealing-series studies for transverse thermoelectric materials, and it identifies AEE as a sensitive probe of sub-crystallization structural heterogeneity. The experimental protocol has clear strengths: Joule heating is separated by zero-offset square-wave current, the AEE is isolated by ±H odd-field symmetrization (Eqs. 2-1 and 2-2), and uniform magnetization is verified through the constant field-odd phase. The imaging provides a large statistical dataset. However, the quantitative translation from Aodd to αANE contains an internal inconsistency, and the x-to-annealing-temperature mapping underlying the phrase 'well before crystallization' is not calibrated. These issues must be resolved before the claims as stated can be accepted.

major comments (4)
  1. [§2.5, Eqs. (3)–(7), Fig. 5] There is an internal inconsistency between Aodd and the reported αANE. Under R > 25 (Eq. (7)), αANE ≈ σxx ΠAEE/T, and ΠAEE ∝ κ ΔT_AEE/(j_c t) with ΔT_AEE = 2Aodd. From TM (x = 80) to TH (x = 125), σxx increases by ~1.85×, κ (from D) increases by at most ~1.3–1.7×, while ΔT_AEE drops from ~13.3 mK to ~4.6 mK. The product therefore decreases, yet Fig. 5(c) reports αANE increasing monotonically from 1.83 to 2.39 A/mK. Please provide the full numerical table for κ, σxx, σAHE, Sxx, ΠAEE, and both terms of Eq. (6) at TL, TM, and TH. If αANE actually peaks at TH, then the abstract’s 'maximum AEE before crystallization' applies only to the raw temperature modulation and not to the fundamental transport coefficient; the manuscript must state this distinction explicitly.
  2. [§2.1, Methods; Fig. 1; Fig. 3] The x→annealing-temperature mapping is not measured. Methods states that heat transfer and the resulting temperature gradient were 'assumed to be one-dimensional,' and §2.1 concedes the gradient 'may not be strictly linear.' No thermocouple profile along the ribbon is reported. The claims that the Aodd peak at x = 70–80 mm corresponds to a particular annealing temperature 'well before crystallization' depend on this uncalibrated mapping. XRD, STEM, and APT anchor the structural state at x = 5, 80, and 125 mm, which supports a structural gradient, but they do not establish the continuous temperature axis. Please either measure Ta(x) along the ribbon or rephrase the interpretation in terms of the directly observed structural states, and quantify how the uncertainty in Ta(x) affects the inferred optimum annealing temperature.
  3. [Eq. (3), Methods] The thermal conductivity κ entering Eq. (3) is not independently reported or defined. The manuscript measures thermal diffusivity D, but Eq. (3) requires κ. If κ is obtained via κ = ρCpD, the density and specific heat values used must be given; if κ is estimated from previous work, this is an unstated free parameter in the central αANE and R analysis. The αANE values in Fig. 5 and the claim R > 25 are therefore not fully determined by the reported measurements. Please list κ at TL, TM, and TH with provenance and uncertainty.
  4. [§2.4, Fig. 4; Abstract] The mechanistic attribution to Cu nanoclusters is based on a single APT volume at x = 80 mm. No comparative APT or cluster statistics are shown for TL (x = 5 mm) and TH (x = 125 mm), so the claim that the AEE enhancement in TM is 'associated with the mechanisms of Cu nanoclusters,' and the abstract’s statement that the heterogeneity 'accounts for the enhanced response,' go beyond the data presented. Please provide APT results from TL and TH (or at least Cu cluster number density and size distributions across the three regimes), or explicitly frame the Cu-cluster mechanism as inferred from prior discrete-sample studies rather than established in this FGM sample.
minor comments (4)
  1. [Fig. 1] The legend refers to 'input charge current C', while the text and equations use j_c or I. Please unify notation.
  2. [Eq. (1)] The symbol l in dφ_lag/d_l is not defined in the main text; clarify that it is the distance from the thermal excitation center and specify the fitting range used for the slope.
  3. [References [41], [42]] References [41] and [42] are listed as 'accepted' without DOIs. If they are public, provide DOIs; if not, this hampers verification of the comparison with previous discrete-sample results.
  4. [§2.6, Fig. S4] The flexibility test is qualitative. Please state the bending radius at which the intact (x < 110 mm) region survives and clarify that the fracture occurred during handling/detachment rather than during bending.

No significant circularity: all quantitative inputs are independently measured and no equation reduces to its inputs.

full rationale

The paper's central result is a direct spatially resolved measurement of the field-odd lock-in amplitude Aodd (Eqs. 2-1 and 2-2) along a single FGM ribbon. The AEE peak at x = 70-80 mm is an observed profile, not a fitted output. Eqs. (3)-(7) are standard transport relations applied to independently measured quantities (Pi_AEE, sigma_xx, sigma_AHE, S_xx); no parameter is tuned to reproduce Aodd. The interpretation that Cu nanoclusters produce enhanced skew scattering draws on prior work by the same group (Refs. 40, 42, 43), but the present paper adds new APT evidence at x = 80 mm and correlates it with the measured Aodd profile, so the self-citation is not load-bearing. The only notable weakness is empirical rather than circular: the annealing-temperature profile Ta(x) is assumed one-dimensional and 'may not be strictly linear' (Sec. 2.1; Methods), so assigning the x = 70-80 mm peak to a pre-crystallization thermal regime relies on an unmeasured mapping. That is a calibration/risk issue, not a derivation that reduces to its own inputs.

Assumptions & free parameters 1 free parameters · 7 assumptions · 0 invented entities

No fitted model parameters appear: all transport coefficients (Aodd, σ, D, σAHE, Sxx) are measured. The central claim rests instead on interpretive assumptions: an unmeasured, assumed-monotonic annealing-temperature profile Ta(x); the LIT signal-separation conventions; the standard Onsager-based decomposition of αANE; an unspecified thermal-conductivity input to Eq. (3); and a mechanistic attribution (Cu-nanocluster Rashba-like SOC) inherited from the authors' own refs. [40,42]. No new particles, forces, or conserved quantities are postulated; the Cu nanoclusters are measured objects, not invented entities.

free parameters (1)
  • Thermal conductivity κ entering Eq. (3) = unspecified
    ΠAEE and αANE scale linearly with κ. The paper measures thermal diffusivity D position-dependently but never states whether κ is taken as ρ·Cp·D per position or as a single composition-matched value from refs. [40,42]; the reported αANE(TH) = 2.39 A/mK is sensitive to this choice (§2.5, Eq. (3), Fig. 5c).
assumptions (7)
  • domain assumption The annealing temperature varies monotonically along x with negligible lateral variation.
    Methods ('assumed to be one-dimensional'); §2.1 admits the gradient may not be strictly linear. Every x-position is treated as a distinct annealing-temperature state.
  • domain assumption The field-odd component of the lock-in signal isolates the AEE; even-in-H contributions cancel (Eqs. 2-1, 2-2).
    Standard LIT methodology inherited from refs. [24,26,27,61–63].
  • domain assumption Eq. (1) is valid for extracting D (instantaneous through-thickness diffusion, radial in-plane flow).
    §2.2 and Methods; justified for 20 µm thickness.
  • standard math Onsager reciprocity ΠAEE = T·SANE and the αANE decomposition (Eqs. 3–6).
    Standard linear-response relations for anomalous transverse thermoelectricity.
  • domain assumption Ordinary Nernst and Ettingshausen contributions are negligible.
    §2.5; the only supporting citation (ref. [41]) is the authors' own accepted paper.
  • domain assumption Uniform magnetization along y at ±0.3 T across the entire ribbon.
    §2.3; coercivity values are cited from refs. [40,42]; constant φodd is the in-paper evidence.
  • domain assumption Cu-nanocluster-induced Rashba-like SOC and asymmetric skew scattering cause the TM enhancement.
    §2.4–2.5; hypothesis from refs. [40,42], not derived here.

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) exhibit continuous property variations that enable unique functionalities and provide efficient platforms for systematic property optimization. Here, we report the fabrication of FGMs with graded structural heterogeneity by annealing an amorphous metal under a one-dimensional temperature gradient. Using lock-in thermography (LIT), we spatially mapped transverse thermoelectric conversion with high spatial and temperature resolution. A pronounced non-monotonic response was observed, with the maximum anomalous Ettingshausen effect, transverse charge-to-heat conversion in magnetic materials, appearing in the atomic-heterogeneity regime well before crystallization. This enhancement was not captured by conventional structural or longitudinal transport measurements, highlighting the exceptional sensitivity of transverse thermoelectric phenomena to subtle structural heterogeneity. Structural analyses using scanning transmission electron microscopy and atom probe tomography revealed Fe-based crystalline alloys and Cu nanoclusters embedded in the amorphous matrix, whose heterogeneity accounts for the enhanced response. These findings establish temperature-gradient-annealed FGMs, combined with LIT, as a powerful methodology for probing structural-heterogeneity-driven transverse electron transport and designing high-performance flexible materials.
