Abstract
The new trends for anomalous Nernst effect (ANE)-based thermoelectric devices require materials with large ANE values to realize the scalable generation of voltage. Recently, very large ANE values have been observed in single crystals of some novel magnetic materials. However, to allow work to proceed on developing ANE-based devices, these materials need to be produced in thin-film form, and to date, thin films have not achieved the same large ANE values as bulk materials. In this letter, we report a large ANE in a 50 nm thick film of ferromagnetic Heusler alloy Co

MnGa, matching the values achieved in the bulk material. By systematically mapping the thermoelectric transport properties, we extracted an anomalous Nernst angle in the range of 11.5% –14.2% at 300 K.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
