By using the tight-binding Hamiltonian and non-equilibrium Green's function methods, the Seebeck and Nernst effects ofα-T3lattice are investigated, in which the lattice interpolates between graphene and the dice lattice via the parameter. For= 0 (graphene), flat bands are always present in the band structure. The Seebeck and Nernst coefficients are consistent with those in graphene. Whenis non-zero at zero magnetic field, the Seebeck coefficient is an odd function of the Fermi energy. It produces a very large and wide first peak within the band gap for the zigzag boundary. Under the influence of magnetic fields, the first peak of the Seebeck coefficient in the gap region increases withincreasing. The Nernst effect occurs under the influence of a magnetic field. The height of the zeroth peak of the Nernst coefficient increases withincreasing. Whenreaches a certain value, the zeroth peak splits. The post-split peak decreases withincreasing for the zigzag boundary, but continues to become wider and higher for the armchair boundary.

Charge-carrier compensation in topological semimetals amplifies the Nernst signal and simultaneously degrades the Seebeck coefficient. In this study, we report the simultaneous achievement of both a large Nernst signal and an unsaturating magneto-Seebeck coefficient in a topological nodal-line semimetal TaAs single crystal. The unique dual-high transverse and longitudinal thermopowers are attributed to multipocket synergy effects: the combination of a strong phonon-drag effect and the two overlapping highly dispersive conduction and valence bands with electron-hole compensation and high mobility, promising a large Nernst effect; the third Dirac band causes a large magneto-Seebeck effect.

In the "method of four coefficients," electrical resistivity (ρ), Seebeck coefficient (S), Hall coefficient (RH), and Nernst coefficient (Q) of a material are measured and typically fit or modeled with theoretical expressions based on Boltzmann transport theory to glean experimental insights into features of electronic structure and/or charge carrier scattering mechanisms in materials. Although well-defined and readily available reference materials exist for validating measurements of ρ and S, none currently exists for RH or Q. We show that measurements of all four transport coefficients-ρ, S, RH, and Q-can be validated using a single reference sample, namely, the low-temperature Seebeck coefficient Standard Reference Material® (SRM) 3451 (composition Bi2Te3+x) available from the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) without the need for inter-laboratory sample exchange.

Transverse thermoelectric conversion holds significant potential in addressing complex challenges faced by classical Seebeck/Peltier modules. A promising transverse thermoelectric phenomenon is the anomalous Nernst effect originating from nontrivial band structures in magnetic topological materials. However, the currently reported performance of the anomalous Nernst effect in topological materials, e.

FeRh has been demonstrated to be an important material for the observation of magnetic phase transitions, such as the first-order transition from an antiferromagnetic (AFM) to a ferromagnetic (FM) state, in response to changes in the temperature. This is because of the magnetic moment induced in Rh atoms above the magnetic phase transition temperature. In the present study, we focus on the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (LSSE), which involves the generation of spin voltage as a result of a temperature gradient in FM materials or FM insulators, and experimentally assess the effect of the crystalline quality of FeRh films and the properties of the substrate on the LSSE thermopower during the FM-AFM phase transition.

The anomalous Hall conductivity of all transition metal trihalides was explored using first-principles calculations. Employing the Fukui-Hatsugai-Suzuki method, we found that ferromagnetic monolayersBr(= Pd, Pt) possessed the quantized anomalous Hall conductivity (QAHC) with and without carrier doping. Due to unique QAHC, their transverse thermoelectric properties ofBr(= Pd, Pt) were investigated.
