Geometrical frustrated Skyrmion lattices exemplify nontrivial topological states with non-zero scalar spin chirality and a finite Berry curvature in real space. In 2019, T. Kurumaji et al. reported a large topological Hall effect in the skyrmion phase in Gd2PdSi3 related to the spin chirality of the ground state [1].
In this talk, I will present the thermal Hall conductivity of the frustrated triangular-lattice magnet Gd2PdSi3. By entering the skyrmion lattice ground state, the field-dependent thermal Hall effect sharply increases against the adjacent incommensurate phases, similar to the electric Hall conductivity behaviour. Eventually, I will investigate the relationship of Hall entropy to the charge current and discuss the non-dissipativity of topological quantum transport in the geometrically frustrated magnet Gd2PdSi3.
