    Saturation of the anomalous Hall effect at high magnetic fields in altermagnetic RuO2
    (Melville, NY : AIP Publ., 2023) Tschirner, Teresa; Keßler, Philipp; Gonzalez Betancourt, Ruben Dario; Kotte, Tommy; Kriegner, Dominik; Büchner, Bernd; Dufouleur, Joseph; Kamp, Martin; Jovic, Vedran; Smejkal, Libor; Sinova, Jairo; Claessen, Ralph; Jungwirth, Tomas; Moser, Simon; Reichlova, Helena; Veyrat, Louis
    Observations of the anomalous Hall effect in RuO2 and MnTe have demonstrated unconventional time-reversal symmetry breaking in the electronic structure of a recently identified new class of compensated collinear magnets, dubbed altermagnets. While in MnTe, the unconventional anomalous Hall signal accompanied by a vanishing magnetization is observable at remanence, the anomalous Hall effect in RuO2 is excluded by symmetry for the Néel vector pointing along the zero-field [001] easy-axis. Guided by a symmetry analysis and ab initio calculations, a field-induced reorientation of the Néel vector from the easy-axis toward the [110] hard-axis was used to demonstrate the anomalous Hall signal in this altermagnet. We confirm the existence of an anomalous Hall effect in our RuO2 thin-film samples, whose set of magnetic and magneto-transport characteristics is consistent with the earlier report. By performing our measurements at extreme magnetic fields up to 68 T, we reach saturation of the anomalous Hall signal at a field Hc ≃ 55 T that was inaccessible in earlier studies but is consistent with the expected Néel-vector reorientation field.

    Transition to the quantum hall regime in InAs nanowire cross-junctions
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2019) Gooth, Johannes; Borg, Mattias; Schmid, Heinz; Bologna, Nicolas; Rossell, Marta D.; Wirths, Stephan; Moselund, Kirsten; Nielsch, Kornelius; Riel, Heike
    We present a low-temperature electrical transport study on four-terminal ballistic InAs nanowire cross-junctions in magnetic fields aligned perpendicular to the cross-plane. Two-terminal longitudinal conductance measurements between opposing contact terminals reveal typical 1D conductance quantization at zero magnetic field. As the magnetic field is applied, the 1D bands evolve into hybrid magneto-electric sub-levels that eventually transform into Landau levels for the widest nanowire devices investigated (width = 100 nm). Hall measurements in a four-terminal configuration on these devices show plateaus in the transverse Hall resistance at high magnetic fields that scale with (ve 2 /h) -1 . e is the elementary charge, h denotes Planck's constant and v is an integer that coincides with the Landau level index determined from the longitudinal conductance measurements. While the 1D conductance quantization in zero magnetic field is fragile against disorder at the NW surface, the plateaus in the Hall resistance at high fields remain robust as expected for a topologically protected Quantum Hall phase. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.
