Here, we analyze the thermoelectric response of Dirac and Weyl semimetals using the semiclassical approach, focusing on the extrinsic contributions due to skew-scattering and side jump. Our results apply to the linear response Nernst effect in ferromagnetic Dirac materials such as Fe₃Sn₂ and Weyl semimetals like Co₃Sn₂S₂. In the case of Fe₃Sn₂ we obtain a very good agreement with known experimental anomalous Hall effect measurements, and based on that we predict a large Nernst effect in this material.We also extend the investigation to second-order response, focusing on monolayer graphene on hBN with trigonal warping as an example. Our analysis indicates that the extrinsic contributions can be a significant component of anomalous Nernst response and may be used to explain an enhanced thermoelectric response.
