| contents | We propose an effect named the anomalous Thomson effect (ATE), analogous to the anomalous Hall effect and the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE). The anomalous Thomson coefficient (ATC) is derived as a function of the anomalous Nernst coefficient (ANC); hence, the ATC inherits the same mechanisms of the ANC. Specifically, we study a massive Dirac model for Fe3Sn2 to capture intrinsic Berry-curvature-driven transport. Our results show that the ATC is generally enhanced relative to the ANC. In the low-temperature limit, the ratio ATC/ANC approaches three. Since the relation between the ATE and the ANE is model-independent, we utilize experimental ANE data to infer experiment-related ATC for CoS2, Co3Sn2S2, and CeCrGe3. We find that the ATC for CeCrGe3 can be as large as fifteen times the ANC in the liquid-nitrogen temperature regime, making this effect highly attractive for solid-state thermoelectric refrigeration in this temperature range. It is important to emphasize that the proposed ATE can be directly verified using existing ANE data, without the need for additional equipment or measurements. |
