Weyl semimetals exhibit interesting electronic properties due to their topological band structure. In particular, large anomalous Hall and anomalous Nernst signals are often reported, which allow for a detailed and quantitative study of subtle features. We pattern single crystals of the magnetic Weyl semimetal CoSnS into nanoribbon devices using focused ion beam cutting and optical lithography. This approach enables a very precise study of the galvano- and thermomagnetic transport properties. Indeed, we found interesting features in the temperature dependency of the anomalous Hall and Nernst effects. We present an analysis of the data based on the Mott relation and identify in the Nernst response signatures of magnetic fluctuations enhancing the anomalous Nernst conductivity at the magnetic phase transition.
外尔半金属因其拓扑能带结构而展现出有趣的电子特性。特别是,经常报道有大的反常霍尔和反常能斯特信号,这使得能够对细微特征进行详细的定量研究。我们使用聚焦离子束切割和光刻技术将磁性外尔半金属CoSnS的单晶加工成纳米带器件。这种方法能够非常精确地研究电流变和热磁输运特性。事实上,我们在反常霍尔和能斯特效应的温度依赖性中发现了有趣的特征。我们基于莫特关系对数据进行了分析,并在能斯特响应中识别出磁涨落的特征,这些磁涨落在磁相变处增强了反常能斯特电导率。
