Thermoelectric devices based on the spin Seebeck effect (SSE) were irradiated with gamma () rays with the total dose of around 310 Gy in order to investigate the -radiation resistance of the devices. To demonstrate this, Pt/NiZnFeO/Glass and Pt/BiYFeO/GdGaO SSE devices were used. We confirmed that the thermoelectric, magnetic, and structural properties of the SSE devices are not affected by the -ray irradiation. This result demonstrates that SSE devices are applicable to thermoelectric generation even in high radiation environments.
