Ferromagnetic metallic oxides have potential applications in spincaloric devices which utilize the spin property of charge carriers for interconversion of heat and electricity through the spin Seebeck or the anomalous Nernst effect or both. In this work, we synthesized polycrystalline La0.5S0.5CoO3 by microwave irradiation method and studied its transverse thermoelectric voltage (Nernst thermopower) and change in the linear dimension of the sample (Joule magnetostriction) in response to external magnetic fields. In addition, magnetization, temperature dependences of electrical resistivity, and longitudinal Seebeck coefficient (Sxx) in absence of an external magnetic field were also measured. The sample is ferromagnetic with a Curie temperature of TC = 247 K and shows a metal-like resistivity above and below TC with a negative sign of Sxx suggesting charge transport due to electrons. Magnetic field dependence of the Nernst thermopower (Sxy) at a fixed temperature shows a rapid increase at low fields and a tendency to saturate at high fields as like the magnetization. Anomalous contribution to Sxy was extracted from total Sxy measured and it exhibits a maximum value of ~ 0.21 microV/K at 180 K for H = 50 kOe, which is comparable to the value found in a single crystal for a lower Sr content. The Joule magnetostriction is positive, i.e., the length of the sample expands along the direction of the magnetic field and it does not saturate even at 50 kOe. The magnetostriction increases with decreasing temperature below TC and reaches a maximum value of 500 ppm at T = 40 K and below. Coexistence of the anomalous Nernst thermopower and giant magnetostriction in a single compound has potential applications for thermal energy harvesting and low-temperature actuators, respectively.

The negative sign of the anomalous Nernst thermopower ($S_text{ANE}$) observed in Mn-Ga ordered alloys is an attractive property for thermoelectric applications exploiting the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE); however, its origin has not been clarified.
In this study, to gain insight into the negative $S_text{ANE}$, we prepared epitaxial thin films of Mn$_{x}$Ga$_{100-x}$ with $x$ ranging from 56.2 to 71.7, and systematically investigated the structural, magnetic, and transport properties including the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) and the ANE. The measured $S_text{ANE}$ is negative for all samples and shows close to one order of magnitude difference among different compositions. Together with the measured transport properties, we were able to separate the two different contributions of the ANE, i.e., one originating from the transverse thermoelectric coefficient ($alpha_{xy}$), and the other one originating from the AHE acting on the longitudinal carrier flow induced by the Seebeck effect. Both contributions are found to be negative for all samples, while the experimentally obtained negative $alpha_{xy}$ exhibits a monotonic increase towards zero with increasing $x$, which is consistent with the tendency indicated by first-principles calculations. Our results show that the large difference in the negative $S_text{ANE}$ is mostly attributed to $alpha_{xy}$, and thus shed light on further enhancement of the ANE in Mn-based ordered alloys.
We present galvanomagnetic and thermoelectric transport measurements on signle-crystal MnBi, a rare-earth-free high-temperature permanent magnet material, along different crystallographic directions, and in particular the anomalous Nernst effect in b
oth the in-plane and cross-plane directions. The cross-plane anomalous Nernst thermopower reaches 8 uV/K at 0.4 T applied field. The anomalous Hall effect also has been measured for both in-plane and cross-plane directions, with opposite signs along different orientations. We attribute this large anomalous Nernst effect to a combination of an intrinsic contribution from the Berry curvature and a new advective magnon contribution arising from magnon-electron spin-angular momentum transfer, which can be viewed as a self-spin Seebeck effect.
In metallic ferromagnets, the Berry curvature of underlying quasiparticles can cause an electric voltage perpendicular to both magnetization and an applied temperature gradient, a phenomenon called the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE). Here, we report t
he observation of a giant ANE in the full-Heusler ferromagnet Co$_2$MnGa, reaching $S_{yx}sim -6$ $mu$V/K at room $T$, one order of magnitude larger than the maximum value reported for a magnetic conductor. With increasing temperature, the transverse thermoelectric conductivity or Peltier coefficient $alpha_{yx}$ shows a crossover between $T$-linear and $-T log(T)$ behaviors, indicating the violation of Mott formula at high temperatures. Our numerical and analytical calculations indicate that the proximity to a quantum Lifshitz transition between type-I and type-II magnetic Weyl fermions is responsible for the observed crossover properties and an enhanced $alpha_{yx}$. The $T$ dependence of $alpha_{yx}$ in experiments and numerical calculations can be understood in terms of a quantum critical scaling function predicted by the low energy effective theory over more than a decade of temperatures. Moreover, the observation of chiral anomaly or an unsaturated positive longitudinal magnetoconductance also provide evidence for the existence of Weyl fermions in Co$_2$MnGa.
The anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) - the generation of a transverse electric voltage by a longitudinal heat current in conducting ferromagnets or antiferromagnets - is an appealing approach for thermoelectric power generation in spin caloritronics. Th
e ANE in antiferromagnets is particularly convenient for the fabrication of highly efficient and densely integrated thermopiles as lateral configurations of thermoelectric modules increase the coverage of heat source without suffering from the stray fields that are intrinsic to ferromagnets. In this work, using first-principles calculations together with a group theory analysis, we systematically investigate the spin order-dependent ANE in noncollinear antiferromagnetic Mn-based antiperovskite nitrides Mn$_{3}X$N ($X$ = Ga, Zn, Ag, and Ni). The ANE in Mn$_{3}X$N is forbidden by symmetry in the R1 phase but amounts to its maximum value in the R3 phase. Among all Mn$_{3}X$N compounds, Mn$_{3}$NiN presents the most significant anomalous Nernst conductivity of 1.80 AK$^{-1}$m$^{-1}$ at 200 K, which can be further enhanced if strain, electric, or magnetic fields are applied. The ANE in Mn$_{3}$NiN, being one order of magnitude larger than that in the famous Mn$_{3}$Sn, is the largest one discovered in antiferromagnets so far. The giant ANE in Mn$_{3}$NiN originates from the sharp slope of the anomalous Hall conductivity at the Fermi energy, which can be understood well from the Mott relation. Our findings provide a novel host material for realizing antiferromagnetic spin caloritronics which promises exciting applications in energy conversion and information processing.
Antiferromagnets with tunable phase transitions are promising for future spintronics applications. We investigated spin-dependent transport properties of FeRh thin films, which show a temperature driven antiferromagnetic-to-ferromagnetic phase transi
tion. Epitaxial FeRh films grown on MgO (001) substrates exhibit a clear magnetic and electronic phase transition. By performing anomalous Hall and anomalous Nernst effect measurements over a wide range of temperatures, we demonstrate that the thermally driven transition shows distinctly different transverse transport on both side of the phase transition. Particularly, a sign change of both anomalous Hall and Nernst signals is observed.
