Disorder-Induced Elevation of Intrinsic Anomalous Hall Conductance in an Electron-Doped Magnetic Weyl Semimetal

Abstract

Topological materials are expected to show distinct transport signatures due to their unique band-inversion character and band-crossing points. However, the intentional modulation of such topological responses by experimentally feasible means is less explored. Here, an unusual elevation of anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is obtained in electron(Ni)-doped magnetic Weyl semimetal Co3-xNixSn2S2, showing peak values of anomalous Hall-conductivity, Hall-angle and Hall-factor at a relatively low doping level of x = 0.11. The separation of intrinsic and extrinsic contributions to total AHE using TYJ scaling model indicates that such significant enhancement is dominated by the intrinsic mechanism of electronic Berry curvature. Theoretical calculations reveal that compared with the Fermi-level shifting from electron filling, a usually overlooked effect of doping, i.e., local disorder, imposes a striking effect on broadening the bands and narrowing the inverted gap, and thus results in an elevation of the integrated Berry curvature. Our results not only realize the enhancement of AHE in a magnetic Weyl semimetal, but also provide a practical design principle to modulate the bands and transport properties in topological materials, by exploiting the disorder effect of doping.
