Large anomalous Nernst effect in the ferromagnetic Fe3Si polycrystal

Materials Science 2025-03-11 v1

Abstract

The high-throughput calculation predicts that the Fe-based cubic ferromagnet Fe3_3Si may exhibit a large anomalous Nernst effect (ANE). Here, we report our experimental observation of the large Nernst coefficient SyxS_{yx}\sim2 μ\muV/K and the transverse thermoelectric coefficient αyx-\alpha_{yx} \sim 3 Am1^{-1}K1^{-1} for Fe3_3Si polycrystal at room temperature. The large αyx-\alpha_{yx} indicates that the large ANE originates from the intrinsic Berry curvature mechanism. The high Curie temperature of 840 K and the most abundant raw elements of Fe and Si make Fe3_3Si a competitive candidate for Nernst thermoelectric generations.
