Large anomalous Nernst and spin Nernst effects in the noncollinear antiferromagnets Mn3X ( X=Sn,Ge,Ga )

Magnon Spin Nernst Effect in Antiferromagnets.

We predict that a temperature gradient can induce a magnon-mediated spin Hall response in an antiferromagnet with nontrivial magnon Berry curvature. We develop a linear response theory which gives a general condition for a Hall current to be well defined, even when the thermal Hall response is forbidden by symmetry. We apply our theory to a honeycomb lattice antiferromagnet and discuss a role o...

Large anomalous Nernst effect in a skyrmion crystal

Thermoelectric properties of a model skyrmion crystal were theoretically investigated, and it was found that its large anomalous Hall conductivity, corresponding to large Chern numbers induced by its peculiar spin structure leads to a large transverse thermoelectric voltage through the anomalous Nernst effect. This implies the possibility of finding good thermoelectric materials among skyrmion ...

Scattering-independent anomalous Nernst effect in ferromagnets

Using the full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method within the density functional theory, we compute all contributions to the scattering-independent part of the thermoelectric conductivity tensor α̂, namely, the intrinsic contribution α̂ic and the side-jump contribution α̂sj. For the ferromagnetic materials bcc Fe, hcp Co, fcc Ni, and L10 ordered alloys FePd and FePt, our investigation...

Anomalous-Nernst and anisotropic magnetoresistive heating

The spin Nernst effect in tungsten

The spin Hall effect allows the generation of spin current when charge current is passed along materials with large spin-orbit coupling. It has been recently predicted that heat current in a nonmagnetic metal can be converted into spin current via a process referred to as the spin Nernst effect. We report the observation of the spin Nernst effect in W. In W/CoFeB/MgO heterostructures, we find c...
