The planar topological Hall effect (PTHE), appeared when the magnetic field tended to be along the current, is believed to result from the real-space Berry curvature of the spin spiral structure and has been experimentally observed in skyrmion-hosting materials. In this paper, we report an experimental observation of the PTHE in a hexagonal ferromagnetic Fe5Sn3 single crystal. With a current along the c axis of Fe5Sn3, the transverse resistivity curves exhibited obvious peaks near the saturation field as the magnetic field rotated to the current and appeared more obvious with increasing temperature, which was related to the noncoplanar spin structure in Fe5Sn3. This spin structure induced nonzero scalar spin chirality, which acted as fictitious magnetic fields to conduction electrons and contributed the additional transverse signal. These findings deepen the understanding of the interaction between conduction electrons and complex magnetic structures and are instructive for the design of next-generation spintronic devices.

In this paper, we report an experimental observation of the large anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in a hexagonal ferromagnetic Fe5Sn3 single crystal with current along the b axis and a magnetic field normal to the bc plane. The intrinsic contribution of the anomalous Hall conductance sigma_AH^int was approximately 613 {Omega}-1 cm-1, which was more than 3 times the maximum value in the frustrated kagome magnet Fe3Sn2 and nearly independent of the temperature over a wide range between 5 and 350 K. The analysis results revealed that the large AHE was dominated by a common, intrinsic term, while the extrinsic contribution, i.e., the skew scattering and side jump, turned out to be small. In addition to the large AHE, it was found the types of majority carriers changed at approximately 275 and 30 K, consistent with the critical temperatures of the spin reorientation. These findings suggest that the hexagonal ferromagnetic Fe5Sn3 single crystal is an excellent candidate to use for the study of the topological features in ferromagnets.
We report the observation of a large anisotropic topological Hall effect (THE) in the hexagonal non-collinear magnet Fe5Sn3 single crystals. It is found that the sign of the topological Hall resistivity is negative when a magnetic field H perpendicular to the bc-plane (Hperp bc-plane), however, it changes form negative to positive when H parallel to the c-axis (Hparallel c-axis). The value of topological Hall resistivity increased with the increasing temperature and reached approximately -2.12 muOmega cm (Hperp bc-plane) and 0.5 muOmega cm (Hparallel c-axis) at 350 K, respectively. Quantitative analyses of the measured data suggest that the observed anisotropic THE may originate from the opposite scalar spin chirality induced by the magnetic fields perpendicular and parallel to the c-axis, respectively.
In this work, we reported the observation of a novel planar topological Hall effect (PTHE) in single crystal of Fe3GeTe2, a paradigmatic two-dimensional ferromagnet with strong uniaxial anisotropy. The Hall effect and magnetoresistance varied periodically when the external magnetic field rotated in the ac (or bc) plane, while the PTHE emerged and maintained robust with field swept across the hard-magnetized ab plane. The PTHE covers the whole temperature region below Tc (~150 K) and a comparatively large value is observed at 100 K. Emergence of an internal gauge field was proposed to explain the origin of this large PTHE, which is either generated by the possible topological domain structure of uniaxial Fe3GeTe2 or the non-coplanar spin structure formed during the in-plane magnetization. Our results promisingly provide an alternative detection method to the in-plane skyrmion formation and may bring brand-new prospective to magneto-transport studies in condensed matter physics.
The Dirac electrons occupying the surface states (SSs) of topological insulators (TIs) have been predicted to exhibit many exciting magneto-transport phenomena. Here we report on the first experimental observation of an unconventional planar Hall effect (PHE) and an electrically gate-tunable hysteretic planar magnetoresistance (PMR) in EuS/TI heterostructures, in which EuS is a ferromagnetic insulator (FMI) with an in-plane magnetization. In such exchange-coupled FMI/TI heterostructures, we find a significant (suppressed) PHE when the in-plane magnetic field is parallel (perpendicular) to the electric current. This behavior differs from previous observations of the PHE in ferromagnets and semiconductors. Furthermore, as the thickness of the 3D TI films is reduced into the 2D limit, in which the Dirac SSs develop a hybridization gap, we find a suppression of the PHE around the charge neutral point indicating the vital role of Dirac SSs in this phenomenon. To explain our findings, we outline a symmetry argument that excludes linear-Hall mechanisms and suggest two possible non-linear Hall mechanisms that can account for all the essential qualitative features in our observations.
Josephson junctions based on three-dimensional topological insulators offer intriguing possibilities to realize unconventional $p$-wave pairing and Majorana modes. Here, we provide a detailed study of the effect of a uniform magnetization in the normal region: We show how the interplay between the spin-momentum locking of the topological insulator and an in-plane magnetization parallel to the direction of phase bias leads to an asymmetry of the Andreev spectrum with respect to transverse momenta. If sufficiently large, this asymmetry induces a transition from a regime of gapless, counterpropagating Majorana modes to a regime with unprotected modes that are unidirectional at small transverse momenta. Intriguingly, the magnetization-induced asymmetry of the Andreev spectrum also gives rise to a Josephson Hall effect, that is, the appearance of a transverse Josephson current. The amplitude and current phase relation of the Josephson Hall current are studied in detail. In particular, we show how magnetic control and gating of the normal region can enable sizable Josephson Hall currents compared to the longitudinal Josephson current. Finally, we also propose in-plane magnetic fields as an alternative to the magnetization in the normal region and discuss how the planar Josephson Hall effect could be observed in experiments.
