Enhanced anomalous Nernst effect in Pr-doped kagome and honeycomb magnet LaCo5
Abstract
In this work, we report the successful synthesis of La1−xPrxCo5 (x = 0.09, 0.21, 0.45) single crystals. Magnetic field-dependent magnetization measurements reveal that Pr substitution induces negligible changes in the magnetic properties of LaCo5, with the ferromagnetic ordering predominantly governed by the Co sublattices. Remarkably, the doped systems exhibit significant enhancements in the anomalous Nernst effect. At 300~K, the anomalous Nernst thermopower SAyx reaches 6.5~μV/K in La0.55Pr0.45Co5, corresponding to a ∼ 40 \% enhancement compared to the parent compound. This significant improvement can be predominantly attributed to Pr-doping-induced Fermi level modification, which directly leads to a redistribution of Berry curvature across the Fermi surface. This work highlights the effectiveness of Pr doping in boosting the anomalous Nernst effect of La1−xPrxCo5, offering a practical strategy to design advanced materials for room-temperature energy-harvesting technologies and high-efficiency thermal sensing devices.
