Deskripsi

Many topological semimetals are excellent thermoelectric materials, but previous studies were limited to steady-state properties. Here, the authors observe a transient thermoelectric response in Cd3As2 by detecting the resulting THz emission, with an enhanced response when a small magnetic field is applied.
