Motivated by the recent discovery of a large anomalous Nernst effect in Co$_2$MnGa, Fe$_3X$ ($X$=Al, Ga) and Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$, we performed a first-principles study to clarify the origin of the enhancement of the transverse thermoelectric…

We consider the anomalous thermoelectric transport in gapped single and bilayer graphene where the gap may be due to broken inversion symmetry. In the presence of the gap, non-trivial Berry phase effects can be shown to mediate a transverse…

We report on magneto-transport studies of dual-gated, Bernal-stacked trilayer graphene (TLG) encapsulated in boron nitride crystals. We observe a quantum Hall effect staircase which indicates a complete lifting of the twelve-fold degeneracy…

A problem of the definition of the heat transported in thermomagnetic phenomena has been well realized in the late sixties, but not solved up to date. Ignoring this problem, numerous recent theories grossly overestimate the thermomagnetic…
