Trigonal PtBi2 represents an exceptional playground for the exploration of topological materials. In fact, it is a Weyl semimetal with broken inversion symmetry and strong spin-orbit coupling, showing also superconductivity at low temperatures. The Nernst effect has been proven to be a powerful technique to investigate the fermiology of unconventional materials and in systems characterized by non-trivial topology, it often assumes distinctive anomalous features, as observed in various Weyl semimetals. In this work, we deeply investigate the evolution of the Nernst coeffcient in a sigle crystal of trigonal-PtBi2 as a function of different parameters: temperature (T), magnetic field (B) and angle between the magnetic field direction and the c-axis of the sample. In particular, we found an unconvetional Nernst phenomenology, resulting from a combination of the peculiar Fermi surface of PtBi2, its non-trivial topology and the incipient superconductivity.

Keywords: Weyl semimetal; Nernst effect; transport properties; topology
