We studied the anomalous Nernst effect in CsCl-type Fe100-X
Rh
X
(X = 45, 48, 50, 52, 54, 60) with a thickness of 50 nm deposited on a thermally oxidized Si substrate. Samples with X < 48 certainly have a ferromagnetic phase, exhibiting the anomalous Nernst effect. The composition dependence of the anomalous Nernst coefficient S
yx agreed with the transverse thermoelectric conductivity α
yx. |S
yx | and |α
yx | were maximized at X = 48, which has a ferromagnetic state close to the phase transition state. The maximization of |α
yx | at X = 48 can be explained using band structure-based calculations , where |α
yx | rapidly increases near the phase transition.
