Giant anomalous Nernst effect in the magnetic Weyl semimetal Co3Sn2S2

Abstract

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.
