Abstract

In ordinary materials, electrons conduct both electricity and heat, where their charge-entropy relations observe the Mott formula and the Wiedemann-Franz law. In topological quantum materials, the transverse motion of relativistic electrons can be strongly affected by the quantum field arising around the topological fermions, where a simple model description of their charge-entropy relations remains elusive. Here we report the topological charge-entropy scaling in the kagome Chern magnet TbMn6Sn6, featuring pristine Mn kagome lattices with strong out-of-plane magnetization. Through both electric and thermoelectric transports, we observe quantum oscillations with a nontrivial Berry phase, a large Fermi velocity and two-dimensionality, supporting the existence of Dirac fermions in the magnetic kagome lattice. This quantum magnet further exhibits large anomalous Hall, anomalous Nernst, and anomalous thermal Hall effects, all of which persist to above room temperature. Remarkably, we show that the charge-entropy scaling relations of these anomalous transverse transports can be ubiquitously described by the Berry curvature field effects in a Chern-gapped Dirac model. Our work points to a model kagome Chern magnet for the proof-of-principle elaboration of the topological charge-entropy scaling.

Highlights

  • In ordinary materials, electrons conduct both electricity and heat, where their charge-entropy relations observe the Mott formula and the Wiedemann-Franz law

  • The out-of-plane ferromagnetic Mn kagome lattice, which is stable over a wide range in the phase diagram (Fig. 1a), is crucial to support the fully spinpolarized Dirac fermions with a large Chern gap[16,17]

  • A common strategy is to calculate the energy dependence of the Berry curvature from ab initio and thoroughly scan over the energy to find a rough match with the anomalous transverse effects in experiment

Summary

Introduction

Electrons conduct both electricity and heat, where their charge-entropy relations observe the Mott formula and the Wiedemann-Franz law. We report the topological charge-entropy scaling in the kagome Chern magnet TbMn6Sn6, featuring pristine Mn kagome lattices with strong out-of-plane magnetization Through both electric and thermoelectric transports, we observe quantum oscillations with a nontrivial Berry phase, a large Fermi velocity and twodimensionality, supporting the existence of Dirac fermions in the magnetic kagome lattice. The strong coupling between 4f and 3d electrons in TbMn6Sn6, which is absent in other transition-metal-bearing kagome magnets, guarantees a stable out-of-plane ferromagnetic Mn sublattice even in an extremely large external field and temperature range[30] This large anisotropy makes the topological band of Chern-gapped Dirac fermion robust against the change of magnetic field and the elevated temperature, providing an ideal platform for studying
