Field-tunable toroidal moment and anomalous Hall effect in noncollinear antiferromagnetic Weyl semimetal Co1/3TaS2
説明
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Combining magnetism with band topology provides various novel phases that are otherwise impossible. Among several cases, noncollinear metallic antiferromagnets can reveal particularly rich topological physics due to their diverse magnetic ground states. However, there are only a few experimental studies due to the lack of suitable materials, especially with triangular lattice antiferromagnets. Here, we report that metallic triangular antiferromagnet Co<jats:sub>1/3</jats:sub>TaS<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> exhibits a substantial anomalous Hall effect (AHE) related to its noncollinear magnetic order. Our first-principles calculations found that hourglass Weyl fermions from the non-symmorphic symmetry trigger AHE. We further show that AHE in Co<jats:sub>1/3</jats:sub>TaS<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> can be characterized by the toroidal moment, a vortex-like multipole component that arises from a combination of chiral lattice and geometrical frustration. Finally, the unusual field-tunability of the toroidal moment puts Co<jats:sub>1/3</jats:sub>TaS<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> as a rare example of a noncollinear metallic antiferromagnet filled with interesting magnetic and topological properties.</jats:p>
