Colossal Anomalous Hall effect in a noncoplanar antiferromagnet

ORAL

Abstract



The intriguing interplay between complex magnetism and charge transport in noncoplanar magnetic materials have attracted considerable research. In this talk, we will show our discovery of a colossal anomalous Hall effect (AHE) observed in a noncoplanar antiferromagnet, which undergoes magnetic phase I, magnetic phase II and polarized ferromagnetic state under field. By analyzing the temperature and sample-dependence of the AHE, we attribute the extraordinary AHE to the strong skew scattering mechanism in magnetic phase II, in contrast to the weak skew scattering observed in both phase I and the polarized ferromagnetic state. We then discuss the possible mechanisms leading to such an extremely large AHE.
