Large thermal Hall effect in a disordered topological insulator — •Rohit Sharma, Mahasweta Bagchi, Oliver Breunig, Yoichi Ando, and Thomas Lorenz — II. Physikalisches Institut, Universität zu Köln, Zülpicher Straße 77, D-50937 Köln, Germany

Topological insulators mother compounds (Bi2Se3,Bi2Te3) are notorious for their high thermoelectric figure of merit and to quantify that, they have been under scrutiny in the past for their longitudinal thermal transport. Surprisingly no attention has been paid on the transverse part of heat transport. Motivated by the recent findings of thermal Hall effect in some oxide and magnetic insulators[1], we have experimentally observed a large thermal Hall effect in disordered topological insulator TlBi0.15Sb0.85Te2[2]. By comparing thermal conductivity κxx and thermal Hall effect κxy data with the electrical counterparts (σxx & σxy), we study a possible influence of phonon drag on thermal transport. Electrical hall conductivity (σxy) shows multi-band behaviour in the whole temperature range (4-300K). Electronic contribution to thermal transport κe was calculated by using Wiedemann-Franz law and then compared with the measured thermal transport data, where it was found that both κxx and κxy shows phonon dominated behaviour. When compared κxy and κe, former shows an order of magnitude higher signal then the latter one.Possible reasons for large thermal Hall effect in TlBi0.15Sb0.85Te2 will be discussed.
