Popis: We report the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) in polycrystalline metallic perovskite Pr0.5Sr0.5CoO3. The transverse Seebeck coefficient (Sxy) was measured at selected temperatures for magnetic fields up to H = 50 kOe and also as a function of temperature at two selected magnetic fields (H = 2 and 10 kOe). While Sxy increases linearly with H above the Curie temperature (TC ∼ 229 K), it changes non-linearly at low fields in the ferromagnetic state and exhibits hysteresis similar to magnetization. Linear extrapolation of the high field Sxy vs H graph to zero field gives Sxy = 0.46 µV/K at 175 K. It is found that the manganite counterpart Pr0.5Sr0.5MnO3 having a similar hole content exhibits much smaller Sxy than Pr0.5Sr0.5CoO3 in a field of 2 kOe. Our analysis suggests that the ANE in this sample is most likely due to asymmetric skew scattering of charge carriers.
