Description:

(abstract)

Wepropose and demonstrate a quantitative noncontact measurement method for the thermal Hall effect (THE) based on magnetic-field-modulated lock-in thermography (LIT). This method enables visualization of THE-induced temperature change and quantitative estimation of the thermal Hall angle θTHE by applying periodic magnetic fields to a sample and obtaining the first-harmonic response of thermal images. By combining this method with LIT-based measurement techniques for the longitudinal thermal conductivity κxx, we also quantify the transverse thermal conductivity κxy. We validate our measurement methods by estimating θTHE, κxx,and κxy in a ferromagnetic Heusler alloy Co2MnGa slab showing large THE.
