Anomalous Magnetotransport in the Paramagnetic State of a Magnetic Kagome Metal EuTiBi

arXiv:2501.02743 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.111.155103

Abstract

We investigate the electrical transport properties of a magnetic kagome metal EuTiBi, which undergoes magnetic ordering below K. Unlike typical magnets showing anomalous magnetotransport in their ordered states, EuTiBi exhibits unusual magnetotransport behaviors in its paramagnetic phase. Specifically, the magnetoconductivity shows a linear dependence on magnetic field at low fields below T, and the Hall conductivity undergoes a sign change below about 2 T. These behaviors resemble those observed in the charge density wave (CDW) phase of kagome metals VSb ( = K, Rb, Cs). The anomalous magnetotransport in VSb has commonly been attributed to the possible emergence of a time-reversal symmetry breaking chiral CDW order. However, given the absence of CDW in EuTiBi and its manifestation exclusively in the paramagnetic state, the anomalous magnetotransport observed in EuTiBi is likely associated with multiband transport and/or the van Hove singularities near the Fermi level.
