Anomalous Hall effect in two-dimensional non-collinear antiferromagnetic semiconductor Cr0.68Se

Abstract
Cr0.68Se single crystals with two-dimensional (2D) character have been grown, and the detailed magnetization M(T), electrical transport properties (including longitudinal resistivity and Hall resistivity and thermal transport ones (including heat capacity Cp(T) and thermoelectric power (TEP) S(T)) have been measured. There are some interesting phenomena: (i) Cr0.68Se presents a non-collinear antiferromagnetic (AFM) semiconducting behavior with the Neel temperature TN = 42 K and the activated energy Eg=3.9 meV; (ii) It exhibits the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) below TN and large negative magnetoresistance (MR) about 83.7% (2 K, 8.5 T). The AHE coefficient RS is 0.385 cm-3/C at T=2 K and the AHE conductivity σH is about 1 ohm-1cm-1 at T=40 K, respectively; (iii) The scaling behavior between the anomalous Hall resistivity and the longitudinal resistivity is linear and further analysis implies that the origin of the AHE in Cr0.68Se is dominated by the skew-scattering mechanism. Our results may be helpful for exploring the potential application of these kind of 2D AFM semiconductors.
