Tunable anomalous Hall and Nernst effects in MM'X compounds

Abstract

Based on first-principles calculations, the anomalous Hall (AHC) and anomalous Nernst conductivities (ANC) of the XMnP (X=Ti, Zr, Hf) compounds were evaluated, and the possibility to tailor such properties by changing the magnetization directions was also investigated. We observed that nodal lines and small gap areas consist the dominant contributions to AHC and ANC, where the significant variations in AHC and ANC when altering the magnetization direction originate from the whole Brillouin zone. Our studies gave a promising clue on engineering magnetic intermetallic compounds for tunable transverse thermoelectric applications.
