Theory of the Spin Seebeck Effect
TL;DR: The theoretical basis for understanding the spin Seebeck effect is presented and the inverse spin Hall effect converts the injected spin current into a transverse charge voltage, thereby producing electromotive force as in the conventional charge Seebeck device.
