Universal Scaling Behavior of Anomalous Hall Effect and Anomalous Nernst Effect in Itinerant Ferromagnets

Abstract

Anomalous Hall effect (AHE) and anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) in a variety of ferromagnetic metals including pure metals, oxides, and chalcogenides, are studied to obtain unified understandings of their origins. We show a universal scaling behavior of anomalous Hall conductivity as a function of longitudinal conductivity over five orders of magnitude, which is well explained by a recent theory of the AHE taking into account both the intrinsic and extrinsic contributions. ANE is closely related with AHE and provides us with further information about the low-temperature electronic state of itinerant ferromagnets. Temperature dependence of transverse Peltier coefficient shows an almost similar behavior among various ferromagnets, and this behavior is in good agreement quantitatively with that expected from the Mott rule.
