However, as in the case of many other insulators, the mechanism by which phonons produce a thermal Hall effect remains unknown.
Here we aim to shed light on the underlying mechanism by studying the effect of adding Zn impurities to Cu3TeO6, substituting for Cu. We present κxy data for various levels of Zn impurities, up to 9%.
We find that these impurities have a strong effect on κxy(T).
We discuss these effects in terms of various theoretical scenarios based on impurity or defect scattering of phonons [2,3,4].
