摘要:

在铁磁固体中,即使没有磁场,纵向温度梯度也能产生横向电压。反常霍尔效应(AHE)的热电对应物被称为反常能斯特效应(ANE)。预期与自发磁化成比例,这两种效应的出现是因为费米能处的贝里曲率。本文报道了在新发现的磁性Weyl半金属Co $_3$ Sn $_2$ S $_2$晶体中观察到的巨大ANE。霍尔电阻率和能斯特信号都在阈值场处表现出急剧的跳跃,并在铁磁转变温度以下表现出明显的滞后回线。ANE信号峰值的最大值约为5 miuV/K,这与在任何磁性材料中看到的最大值相当。此外,反常的横向热电电导率在70 K时变得大到约10 A/K·m,这是已知半金属中最大的。观察到的ANE信号比根据磁化强度预期的大得多。

英文摘要:

In ferromagnetic solids, even in absence of magnetic field, a transverse voltage can be generated by a longitudinal temperature gradient. This thermoelectric counterpart of the Anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is dubbed the Anomalous Nernst effect (ANE). Expected to scale with spontaneous magnetization, both these effects arise because of the Berry curvature at the Fermi energy. Here, we report the observation of a giant ANE in a newly-discovered magnetic Weyl semimetal Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ crystal. Hall resistivity and Nernst signal both show sharp jumps at a threshold field and exhibit a clear hysteresis loop below the ferromagnetic transition temperature. The ANE signal peaks a maximum value of about 5 miuV/K which is comparable to the largest seen in any magnetic material. Moreover, the anomalous transverse thermoelectric conductivity becomes as large as about 10 A/K.m at 70 K, the largest in known semimetals. The observed ANE signal is much larger than what is expected according to the magnetization.
