Description:
(abstract)We report a systematic evaluation of the effects of post-deposition annealing temperature and structural ordering on the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) in Fe2CoSi (FCS) Heusler alloy thin films. The study reveals that amorphous/disordered FCS films exhibit a larger anomalous Nernst coefficient (SANE) compared to their crystalline counterparts, in stark contrast to conventional Co-based Heusler alloys, which typically show maximum SANE in highly ordered structures. Furthermore, as a strategy for enhancing transverse thermoelectric properties, we explore (FCS)100−xPtx composite alloy films by systematically varying the Pt concentration and optimizing the composition. This method effectively enhances the transverse thermoelectric performance of the FCS-based alloys. Our findings offer valuable insights for the design and development of next-generation high-performance ANE materials.
