Optoelectronic investigation of Berry curvature dipole induced non-linear anomalous thermal Hall effect in type-II Weyl Semimetal WTe2 — •Ernst Knöckl1, 2 and Christoph Kastl1, 21Walter Schottky Institut, Munich, Germany — 2TU Munich, Germany

The Berry curvature forms the foundation for the topological classification of band structures. Importantly, it also impacts a material’s (opto-)electronic properties, for example by introducing an anomalous transversal correction to the group velocity of charge carriers. Generally, symmetry constraints often preclude the observation of such effects, and only few, low-symmetry materials directly show relevant topological transport properties. In particular, few-layer WTe2 has been shown to exhibit a nonlinear anomalous Hall effect [1] due to its low crystal symmetry and its strong Berry curvature dipole (BCD). We discuss the requirements for optically detecting a so far elusive thermal analogue of this effect, which is the socalled nonlinear anomalous thermal Hall effect (NLATHE). In principle, the NLATHE allows for experimentally accessing the first derivative of the BCD with respect to the chemical potential [2]. We present first results obtained on few-layer WTe2 integrated into on-chip thermal circuits made from silicon nitride membranes.
