Magneto-Seebeck effect and ambipolar Nernst effect in CsVSb superconductor

arXiv:2110.00289 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.104.L180508

Abstract

We present a study of Seebeck and Nernst effect in combination with magnetoresistance and Hall measurements of the Kagome superconductor CsVSb. Sizable magneto-Seebeck signal appears once the charge density wave (CDW) order sets in below =94 K. The Nernst signal peaks at a lower temperature =35 K, crossing which the Hall coefficient switches sign, which we attribute to the ambipolar transport of compensated bands due to the multi-band nature of CsVSb. Sublinear Nernst signal as a function of magnetic field, together with large anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) also emerge inside the CDW phase, despite the absence of long-range magnetic order. These findings suggest that, the transport properties are dominated by small pockets with multi-band profile, and that the unusual band topology also plays an import role in the CDW state of CsVSb.
