Article Abstract
A large anomalous Nernst effect is essential for thermoelectric energy-harvesting in the transverse geometry without external magnetic field. It's often connected with anomalous Hall effect, especially when electronic Berry curvature is believed to be the driving force. This approach implicitly assumes the same symmetry for the Nernst and Hall coefficients, which is however not necessarily true. Here we report a large anomalous Nernst effect in antiferromagnetic SrIrSnO that defies the antisymmetric constraint on the anomalous Hall effect imposed by the Onsager reciprocal relation. The observed spontaneous Nernst thermopower quickly reaches the sub-μV/K level below the Néel transition around 250 K, which is comparable with many topological antiferromagnetic semimetals and far excels other magnetic oxides. Our analysis indicates that the coexistence of significant symmetric and antisymmetric contributions plays a key role, pointing to the importance of extracting both contributions and a new pathway to enhanced anomalous Nernst effect for transverse thermoelectrics.

Kagomé lattice magnets have recently garnered significant interest due to the pronounced transverse transport characteristics, particularly in thermoelectric and spintronic applications, stemming from the interplay between topology and magnetism. Here, a comprehensive investigation of the magnetic, electrical, and thermoelectric transport properties, as well as the complex spin configurations, is conducted in a polycrystalline Kagomé ferromagnet GdCo. Strikingly, a giant anomalous Hall conductivity ≈2125 S cm is obtained at T = 10 K, which is primarily governed by the extrinsic skew-scattering mechanism.

The discovery of magnetic Weyl semimetals (WSMs) has drawn significant interest due to their exceptional topological properties and anomalous transport behaviors, presenting exciting possibilities for advanced technological applications. Co-based Heusler compounds, with their unique band structures, have emerged as key materials for exploring the interplay between magnetism and topology. In this work, we perform a detailed first-principles study on Co2-xCrMnGe Heusler alloys (0⩽⩽1), proposing new candidates with significantly enhanced nontrivial transport properties.

Magnetic thin films and nanostructures present a unique challenge for a range of thermal measurements, with important consequences for both fundamental physics and material science and applications. This paper reviews the unique capabilities for measurement and control of these systems using thermal gradients applied using micro- and nanofabricated silicon-nitride membrane platforms. Supporting a thin film or nanostructure removes bulk heat sinks from the tiny structure, enabling otherwise challenging or impossible measurements including thermal conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, Peltier coefficient, magnon drag, both the anomalous and planar Nernst effect, specific heat, and novel manifestations of thermally assisted spin transport.

The anomalous Nernst effect generates a voltage transverse to an applied thermal gradient in some magnetically ordered systems. While the effect was considered excluded in compensated magnetic materials with collinear ordering, in the recently identified symmetry-class of altermagnets, the anomalous Nernst effect is possible despite the compensated collinear spin arrangement. In this work, we show that epitaxial MnSi thin films grown on Si manifest an anomalous Nernst effect with a finite spontaneous signal at zero magnetic field despite the vanishing spontaneous magnetization.

We propose ferroelectric layer sliding as a new approach to realize and manipulate topological quantum states in two-dimensional (2D) bilayer magnetic van der Waals materials. We show that stacking monolayer ferromagnetic topological states into layer-spin-locked bilayer antiferromagnetic structures, and introducing sliding ferroelectricity leads to asynchronous topological evolution of different layers (spins) owing to the existence of polarization potentials, thereby giving rise to rich layer-resolved topological phases. As a specific example, by means of a lattice model, we show that a bilayer magnetic 2D second order topological insulator (SOTI) reveals an unrecognized spin-hybrid-order topological insulator after undergoing ferroelectric sliding.
