Unveiling the Cooling Potential of Anomalous Ettingshausen Effect in Magnetic Weyl Semimetals (Wey2Cool)

The aim of this PhD project is to realize  the first thermoelectric cooler device exploiting the quantum properties of magnetic Weyl semimetals. To this end, the project combines the development of a deposition method  to obtain ultra-high quality thin films of  magnetic Weyl semimetals, in-depth characterization of their physical parameters by means of cryogenic magnetotransport and scanning probe microscopy, and implementation into real functional devices with innovative form factors including mechanical flexibility and large area.
