説明

In this study, we implemented a finite-difference algorithm for computing anomalous Hall and Nernst conductivity. Based on the expression to evaluate the Berry curvature in an insulating system [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 74 1674(2005)], we extended the methods to a metallic system. We calculated anomalous Hall conductivity and Nernst conductivity in a two-dimensional ferromagnetic material FeCl$_2$ and three-dimensional ferromagnetic transition metals bcc-Fe, hcp-Co, and fcc-Ni. Our results are comparable to previously reported results computed by Kubo-formula or Wannier representation. To evaluate anomalous Nernst coefficients, the detailed Fermi-energy dependence of the anomalous Hall conductivity is required. Nonetheless, previous methods based on Wannier representation or Kubo-formula have numerical instability due to the ${\boldsymbol k}$-space Dirac monopole. The present method will open an efficient thermoelectric material design based on the high-throughput first-principles screening.
