Giant topological and planar Hall effect in Cr${}_{1/3}$NbS${}_2$

Abstract

Cr${}_{1/3}$NbS${}_2$ is a transition metal dichalcogenide that has been of significant interest due to its ability to host a magnetic chiral soliton lattice. Conventional and planar Hall measurements provide valuable insight into the detection of exotic spin structures in chiral magnets. We show that the presence of a giant planar Hall effect can be attributed to a tilted soliton lattice in Cr${}_{1/3}$NbS${}_2$. Our detailed angular dependent study shows the planar Hall effect and anisotropic magnetoresistance are intrinsically linked in complex non-coplanar magnets. From the conventional Hall signal we show the presence of a giant unconventional, likely topological Hall component, that is the fingerprint of non-coplanar spin textures.
