Abstract

The magnetothermopower have been studied in Lu-doped Ca 3− x Lu x Co 4O 9+δ. A strong magnetic field suppression of thermopower indicates large spin entropy contribution. The magnetothermopower for doped samples are overall enhanced compared with that for undoped Ca 3Co 4O 9+δ, providing an experimental evidence for the enhancement of spin entropy. Magnetic results confirm that Co 4+ concentration is reduced by Lu doping. We suggest that the reduction in Co 4+ concentration results in the enhanced spin entropy.
