  We report an enhancement of the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) in Ni/Pt (001)
epitaxial superlattices. The transport and magneto-thermoelectric properties
were investigated for the Ni/Pt superlattices with various Ni layer thicknesses
(${\it t}$). The anomalous Nernst coefficient was increased up to more than 1
${\mu}$V K$^{-1}$ for 2.0 nm ${\leq}$ ${\it t}$ ${\leq}$ 4.0 nm, which was the
remarkable enhancement compared to the bulk Ni. It has been found that the
large transverse Peltier coefficient (${\alpha}$$_{xy}$), reaching
${\alpha}$$_{xy}$ = 4.8 A K$^{-1}$ m$^{-1}$ for ${\it t}$ = 4.0 nm, plays a
prime role for the enhanced ANE of the Ni/Pt (001) superlattices.
