Abstract

We report detailed magneto-transport measurements on single crystals of the magnetic Weyl semi-metal Co $_{3}$ Sn $_{2}$ S $_{2}$ . Recently a large anomalous Hall effect and chiral anomaly have been observed in this material which have been suggested to be related to the large Berry curvature between the Weyl points (Liu et al., Nature Physics (2018).). Another effect expected to result from the topological band structure of magnetic Weyl materials is the planar Hall effect (PHE). In this work we report observation of this intrinsic effect in single crystals of Co $_{3}$ Sn $_{2}$ S $_{2}$ . Crucially, the PHE is observed for temperature $T \leq 74$ ~K which is much smaller than the ferromagnetic ordering temperature $T_{c} = 175$ ~K\@. Together with the large anomalous Hall conductivity, this further demonstrates the Topological character of Co $_{3}$ Sn $_{2}$ S $_{2}$ .
