Abstract The anomalous Hall and Nernst effects provide critical probes for investigating the Berry-curvature-related electronic band characteristics in magnetic materials. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive investigation into the magnetic, electrical, and thermal transport properties of NdCrGe$_{3}$ single crystals with a Ge-based breathing kagome lattice. This compound undergoes a ferromagnetic transition at 128 K, and magnetic ordering of the Nd sublattice emerges below 100 K. Transport measurements indicate that NdCrGe$_{3}$ manifests large anomalous Hall conductivity with $\sigma_{xy}^{{\rm A}} \approx 380 \Omega ^{-1}\cdot$cm$^{-1}$ at low temperatures and an anomalous Nernst coefficient with $\vert S_{xy}^{{\rm A-max}}\vert = 0.74$ μV/K at 100 K. Scaling analysis reveals that NdCrGe$_{3}$ exhibits large intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity of $\sim 260 \Omega^{-1}\cdot$cm$^{-1}$ and falls within the intrinsic regime of the unified model. Furthermore, the anomalous Nernst coefficient breaks down the scaling relationship with magnetization observed in conventional ferromagnets, while the anomalous Nernst conductivity manifests a scaling behavior of $T \ln T$. These results demonstrate that the anomalous transverse transport properties of NdCrGe$_{3}$ are predominantly governed by the intrinsic Berry mechanism.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
