Antisymmetric Seebeck Effect in a Tilted Weyl Semimetal

Phys Rev Lett. 2022 Jul 29;129(5):056601. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.056601.

Abstract

Tilting the Weyl cone breaks the Lorentz invariance and enriches the Weyl physics. Here, we report the observation of a magnetic-field-antisymmetric Seebeck effect in a tilted Weyl semimetal, Co_{3}Sn_{2}S_{2}. Moreover, it is found that the Seebeck effect and the Nernst effect are antisymmetric in both the in-plane magnetic field and the magnetization. We attribute these exotic effects to the one-dimensional chiral anomaly and phase space correction due to the Berry curvature. The observation is further reproduced by a theoretical calculation, taking into account the orbital magnetization.
