Intrinsic Berry Curvature Driven Anomalous Hall and Nernst Effect in Co <sub>2</sub> MnSn
Magnetic topological semimetals exhibiting unusual electronic and thermal transport due to nontrivial bulk band crossings, enabling simultaneous realization of large anomalous Hall ( <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:semantics><mml:msubsup><mml:mi>σ</mml:mi> <mml:mrow><mml:mi>x</mml:mi> <mml:mi>y</mml:mi></mml:mrow> <mml:mi>A</mml:mi></mml:msubsup> <mml:annotation>$\sigma _{xy}^A$</mml:annotation></mml:semantics> </mml:math> ) and Nernst ( <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:semantics><mml:msubsup><mml:mi>α</mml:mi> <mml:mrow><mml:mi>x</mml:mi> <mml:mi>y</mml:mi></mml:mrow> <mml:mi>A</mml:mi></mml:msubsup> <mml:annotation>$\alpha _{xy}^A$</mml:annotation></mml:semantics> </mml:math> ) conductivities, are rare. Here, a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of the anomalous transport properties of ferromagnetic <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mi>Co</mml:mi> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn></mml:msub> <mml:mi>MnSn</mml:mi></mml:mrow> <mml:annotation>${\rm Co}_2{\rm MnSn}$</mml:annotation></mml:semantics> </mml:math> is reported. First-principles calculations reveal that Weyl points proximate to the Fermi level generate substantial intrinsic Berry curvature, which solely governs the intrinsic anomalous Hall and Nernst responses, in sharp contrast to the nodal-line-dominated behavior observed in lighter analogues of <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mi>Co</mml:mi> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn></mml:msub> <mml:mi>MnX</mml:mi></mml:mrow> <mml:annotation>${\rm Co}_2{\rm MnX}$</mml:annotation></mml:semantics> </mml:math> family. Electronic and thermal transport measurements demonstrate robust anomalous transport with substantial conductivity values that persist at room temperature ( <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow><mml:msubsup><mml:mi>σ</mml:mi> <mml:mrow><mml:mi>x</mml:mi> <mml:mi>y</mml:mi></mml:mrow> <mml:mi>A</mml:mi></mml:msubsup> <mml:mo>∼</mml:mo></mml:mrow> <mml:annotation>$\sigma _{xy}^A\sim$</mml:annotation></mml:semantics> </mml:math> 500 S <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:semantics><mml:msup><mml:mi>cm</mml:mi> <mml:mrow><mml:mo>-</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn></mml:mrow> </mml:msup> <mml:annotation>${\rm cm}^{-1}$</mml:annotation></mml:semantics> </mml:math> , <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow><mml:msubsup><mml:mi>α</mml:mi> <mml:mrow><mml:mi>x</mml:mi> <mml:mi>y</mml:mi></mml:mrow> <mml:mi>A</mml:mi></mml:msubsup> <mml:mo>∼</mml:mo></mml:mrow> <mml:annotation>$\alpha _{xy}^A\sim$</mml:annotation></mml:semantics> </mml:math> 1.3 A <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:semantics><mml:msup><mml:mi>m</mml:mi> <mml:mrow><mml:mo>-</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn></mml:mrow> </mml:msup> <mml:annotation>${\rm m}^{-1}$</mml:annotation></mml:semantics> </mml:math> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:semantics><mml:msup><mml:mi>K</mml:mi> <mml:mrow><mml:mo>-</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn></mml:mrow> </mml:msup> <mml:annotation>${\rm K}^{-1}$</mml:annotation></mml:semantics> </mml:math> ).
