Experimental study reveals significant berry curvature driving strong anomalous hall and nernst effects in ferromagnetic Co$_2$MnSn.
Magnetic topological semimetals often exhibit unusual electronic and thermal transport due to nontrivial bulk band crossings, enabling simultaneous realization of large anomalous Hall and Nernst conductivities (σxy and αxy). Here, a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of the anomalous transport properties of ferromagnetic Co₂MnSn is reported. First-principles calculations reveal topological Weyl points producing significant Berry curvature, driving dominant intrinsic anomalous Hall/Nernst effects. Electronic and thermal transport measurements demonstrate robust anomalous transport with substantial conductivity values that persist at room temperature (σxy~ 500 S/cm, αxy~ 1.3 A/m/K). We also show how the chemical substitution (via tuning Fermi level) can boost these effects (up to σxy~ 1376 S/cm, αxy~ 1.49 A/m/K at 150 K). These findings position Co₂MnSn as a compelling platform for exploring topological transport phenomena and advancing next-generation thermoelectric and spintronic technologies.
