Abstract
Magnetic topological semimetals exhibiting unusual electronic and thermal transport due to nontrivial bulk band crossings, enabling simultaneous realization of large anomalous Hall (𝜎𝐴𝑥𝑦) and Nernst (𝜎𝐴𝑥𝑦) conductivities, are rare. Here, a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of the anomalous transport properties of ferromagnetic Co2MnSn 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 Co2MnX family. Electronic and thermal transport measurements demonstrate robust anomalous transport with substantial conductivity values that persist at room temperature (𝜎𝐴𝑥𝑦 ∼ 500 S cm-1, 𝜎𝐴𝑥𝑦 ∼ 1.3 A m-1 K-1). We also show how Fermi level tuning, via chemical substitution, can boost these effects (up to 𝜎𝐴𝑥𝑦∼ 1376 S cm-1, 𝛼𝐴𝑥𝑦 ∼ 1.49 A m−1 K−1 at 150 K). These findings position Co2MnSn as a compelling platform for exploring topological transport phenomena and advancing next-generation spin-caloritronic technologies.
