Outline of Final Research Achievements

Honeycomb-lattice magnets and polar magnets are attracting attention as platforms for novel quantum thermal transport properties. In this research project, we aimed to explore new properties and elucidate the underlying mechanisms by constructing a setup for precise measurement of thermal conductivity and thermoelectric properties, and conducting measurements on various novel quantum materials. We successfully observed element-sensitive giant magneto-thermal conductivity in honeycomb antiferromagnets composed of Co and anomalous Nernst effects in rare-earth semimetal RAuGe. Furthermore, utilizing the established thermal measurement techniques, we expanded our research on magnetoelectrocaloric effects in multiferroics. Additionally, we have been advancing consideration on the in-plane Hall effect, which allowed us to identify the directionality of novel electric (thermal) response properties in quantum materials.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

磁性体における熱輸送・熱電特性は近年主に強磁性体や反強磁性体に関して進展が著しい。フォノンやマグノンなどの準粒子の分散関係に潜む幾何学的位相や電子バンドのトポロジカルな性質によって応答が巨大化することが報告されている。本研究で発見したハニカム格子反強磁性体の巨大な磁気熱伝導効果はマグノンと格子との結合が磁性とは関係のない陽イオンの種類によって鋭敏に変化することを明らかにしており、より顕著な応答を示す物質を設計するための指針となる。またRAuGeにおける異常ネルンスト効果電子バンドのワイル点の存在を示唆しており、希土類元素による非自明な熱電応答の増強や制御に期待できる。
