Abstract:
The discovery of magnetic topological semimetals has recently attracted significant attention in the field of topology and thermoelectrics. In a thermoelectric device based on the Nernst geometry, an external magnet is required as an integral part. Reported is a zero-field Nernst effect in a newly discovered hard-ferromagnetic kagome-lattice Weyl-semimetal Co 3 Sn 2 S 2 . A maximum Nernst thermopower of ≈3 µV K −1 at 80 K in zero field is achieved in this magnetic Weyl-semimetal. The results demonstrate the possibility of application of topological hard magnetic semimetals for low-power thermoelectric devices based on the Nernst effect and are thus valuable for the comprehensive understanding of transport properties in this class of materials. © 2019 The Authors.
