Magnetic Phase Dependence of the Anomalous Hall Effect in MnSn Single Crystals

arXiv:1804.00116 · doi:10.1063/1.5021133

Abstract

Thermodynamic and transport properties are reported on single crystals of the hexagonal antiferromagnet MnSn grown by the Sn flux technique. Magnetization measurements reveal two magnetic phase transitions at = 275 K and = 200 K, below the antiferromagnetic phase transition at 420 K. The Hall conductivity in zero magnetic field is suppressed dramatically from 4.7 cm to near zero below , coincident with the vanishing of the weak ferromagnetic moment. This illustrates that the large anomalous Hall effect (AHE) arising from the Berry curvature can be switched on and off by a subtle change in the symmetry of the magnetic structure near room temperature.
