| contents | We report thermal conductivity and Seebeck effect measurements on Mn(Bi1-xSbx)2Te4 (MBST) with x = 0.26 under applied magnetic fields below 50 K. Our data shows clear indications of the electronic structure transition induced by the antiferromagnetic (AFM) to ferromagnetic (FM) transition driven by applied magnetic field as well as significant positive magnetothermal conductivity in the Weyl semimetal state of MBST. Further, by examining the dependence of magnetothermal conductivity on field orientation for MBST and comparison with the magnetothermal conductivity of MnBi2Te4 we see evidence of a contribution to thermal conductivity due to Weyl fermions in the FM phase of MBST. From the temperature dependence of Seebeck coefficient under magnetic fields for MBST, we also observed features consistent with the Fermi surface evolution from a hole pocket in the paramagnetic state to a Fermi surface with coexistence of electron and hole pockets in the FM state. These findings provide further evidence for the field-driven topological phase transition from an AFM topological insulator to a FM Weyl semimetal. |
