Abstract

ABSTRACT Topological Kagome magnets, characterized by nontrivial electronic band structures featuring flat band, Dirac cone, and van Hove singularities, provide a new avenue for the realization of thermoelectric devices. Unlike the conventional longitudinal Seebeck effect, transverse thermoelectric (TE) effects like the Nernst effect have attracted growing interest due to their unique transverse geometry and potential advantages. Here, we report the observation of a significant transverse thermoelectric conductivity of 15 A K −1 m −1 at low temperatures, together with a pronounced anomalous Nernst effect in the Kagome antiferromagnet FeGe, which exhibits a charge density wave inside the antiferromagnetic (AFM) state. This value is the highest record among known AFM materials. A notable enhancement of thermopower (exceeding 10 2 %) is observed below the canted‐AFM transition temperature, which is rarely seen in antiferromagnetic systems. These effects are attributed to large Berry curvature arising from the non‐collinear spin texture in FeGe, highlighting its potential for enhancing thermoelectric performance and its candidacy for magneto‐TE applications in Kagome antiferromagnetic materials.
