Abstract Based on first-principles calculations, the anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) and anomalous Nernst conductivities (ANCs) of the XMnP (X = Ti, Zr, Hf) compounds are evaluated, and the possibility to tailor such properties in compounds susceptible to changing the magnetization directions is also investigated. We observe large changes in the calculated AHC and ANC for different magnetization directions that are originating from changes in the band structure all over the whole Brillouin zone. Our study gives a promising clue on engineering magnetic intermetallic compounds for tunable transverse thermoelectric applications.
