    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.

    From Colossal to Zero: Controlling the Anomalous Hall Effect in Magnetic Heusler Compounds via Berry Curvature Design
    (College Park, MD : American Physical Society, 2018) Manna, K.; Muechler, L.; Kao, T.-H.; Stinshoff, R.; Zhang, Y.; Gooth, J.; Kumar, N.; Kreiner, G.; Koepernik, K.; Car, R.; Kübler, J.; Fecher, G.H.; Shekhar, C.; Sun, Y.; Felser, C.
    Since the discovery of the anomalous Hall effect (AHE), the anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) has been thought to be zero when there is no net magnetization. However, the recently found relation between the intrinsic AHE and the Berry curvature predicts other possibilities, such as a large AHC in noncolinear antiferromagnets with no net magnetization but net Berry curvature. Vice versa, the AHE in principle could be tuned to zero, irrespective of a finite magnetization. Here, we experimentally investigate this possibility and demonstrate that the symmetry elements of Heusler magnets can be changed such that the Berry curvature and all the associated properties are switched while leaving the magnetization unaffected. This enables us to tune the AHC from 0 Ω-1 cm-1 up to 1600 Ω-1 cm-1 with an exceptionally high anomalous Hall angle up to 12%, while keeping the magnetization the same. Our study shows that the AHC can be controlled by selectively changing the Berry curvature distribution, independent of the magnetization.

    Magnetic-field- and temperature-dependent fermi surface of CeBiPt
    (Milton Park : Taylor & Francis, 2006) Wosnitza, J.; Goll, G.; Bianchi, A.D.; Bergk, B.; Kozlova, N.; Opahle, I.; Elgazzar, S.; Richter, Manuel; Stockert, O.; Löhneysen, H.V.; Yoshino, T.; Takabatake, T.
    The half-Heusler compounds CeBiPt and LaBiPt are semimetals with very low charge-carrier concentrations as evidenced by Shubnikov–de Haas (SdH) and Hall-effect measurements. Neutron-scattering results reveal a simple antiferromagnetic structure in CeBiPt below TN = 1.15 K. The band structure of CeBiPt sensitively depends on temperature, magnetic field and stoichiometry. Above a certain, sample-dependent, threshold field (B>25 T), the SdH signal disappears and the Hall coefficient reduces significantly. These effects are absent in the non-4f compound LaBiPt. Electronic-band-structure calculations can well explain the observed behaviour by a 4f-polarization-induced Fermi-surface modification.

    Berry curvature associated to Fermi arcs in continuum and lattice Weyl systems
    (College Park, MD : APS, 2023) Wawrzik, Dennis; van den Brink, Jeroen
    Recently it has been discovered that in Weyl semimetals the surface state Berry curvature can diverge in certain regions of momentum. This occurs in a continuum description of tilted Weyl cones, which for a slab geometry results in the Berry curvature dipole associated to the surface Fermi arcs growing linearly with slab thickness. Here we investigate analytically incarnations of lattice Weyl semimetals and demonstrate this diverging surface Berry curvature by solving for their surface states and connect these to their continuum descriptions. We show how the shape of the Fermi arc and the Berry curvature hot-line is determined and confirm the 1/k2 divergence of the Berry curvature at the end of the Fermi arc as well as the finite-size effects for the Berry curvature and its dipole, using finite-slab calculations and surface Green's function methods. We further establish that apart from affecting the second-order, nonlinear Hall effect, the divergent Berry curvature has a strong impact on other transport phenomena as the Magnus-Hall effect and the nonlinear chiral anomaly.
