Topological semimetals have been a focal point of research in recent years. One of the salient characters of topological semimetals is the anomalous Hall effect arising from the nontrivial momentum-space Berry phase. In contrast, anomalous transverse thermoelectric coefficient and thermal Hall effect are much less explored up to date. In this paper, we report thermoelectric and thermal transport properties of Fe₃Sn₂, a prototypical Dirac semimetal. We find that Fe₃Sn₂ exhibits large topological Nernst effect which is associated with the non-zero spin chirality of the skyrmion bubble phase. Furthermore, Fe₃Sn₂ shows prominent anomalous thermal Hall effect and anomalous Nernst effect with features similar to the anomalous Hall effect. The anomalous Nernst signal is about 2.1 μV/K at room temperature, which is comparable to the largest value reported thus far. These results highlight the synergic effects of Berry phase in both real space and momentum space of Fe₃Sn₂, and this study demonstrates an effective strategy of investigating topological materials by measuring their transverse thermal and thermoelectric responses.
