The large magnetic anisotropy in the layered ferromagnet Fe_{1/4}TaS_2 leads to very sharp reversals of the magnetization $bf M$ at the coercive field. We have exploited this feature to measure the anomalous Hall effect (AHE), focussing on the AHE conductivity $sigma^A_{xy}$ in the inelastic regime. At low temperature T (5-50 K), $sigma^A_{xy}$ is T-independent, consistent with the Berry-phase/Karplus-Luttinger theory. Above 50 K, we extract an inelastic AHE conductivity $sigma^{in}_{xy}$ that scales as the square of $Deltarho$ (the T dependent part of the resistivity $rho$). The term $sigma^{in}_{xy}$ clarifies the T dependence and sign-reversal of the AHE coefficient R_s(T). We discuss the possible ubiquity of $sigma^{in}_{xy}$ in ferromagnets, and ideas for interpreting its scaling with $(Deltarho)^2$. Measurements of the magnetoresistance (MR) reveal a rich pattern of behavior vs. T and field tilt-angle. We show that the 2 mechanisms, the anisotropic MR effect and field-suppression of magnons, account for the intricate MR behavior, including the bow-tie features caused by the sharp reversals in $bf M$.

The anomalous Hall effect (AHE), a Hall signal occurring without an external magnetic field, is one of the most significant phenomena. However, understanding the AHE mechanism has been challenging and largely restricted to ferromagnetic metals. Here, we investigate the recently discovered AHE in the chiral antiferromagnet Mn3Sn by measuring a thermal analog of the AHE, known as an anomalous thermal Hall effect (ATHE). The amplitude of the ATHE scales with the anomalous Hall conductivity of Mn3Sn over a wide temperature range, demonstrating that the AHE of Mn3Sn arises from a dissipationless intrinsic mechanism associated with the Berry curvature. Moreover, we find that the dissipationless AHE is significantly stabilized by shifting the Fermi level toward the magnetic Weyl points. Thus, in Mn3Sn, the Berry curvature emerging from the proposed magnetic Weyl fermion state is a key factor for the observed AHE and ATHE.
The anomalous Hall effect, observed in conducting ferromagnets with broken time-reversal symmetry, offers the possibility to couple spin and orbital degrees of freedom of electrons in ferromagnets. In addition to charge, the anomalous Hall effect als o leads to spin accumulation at the surfaces perpendicular to both the current and magnetization direction. Here we experimentally demonstrate that the spin accumulation, subsequent spin backflow, and spin-charge conversion can give rise to a different type of spin current related magnetoresistance, dubbed here as the anomalous Hall magnetoresistance, which has the same angular dependence as the recently discovered spin Hall magnetoresistance. The anomalous Hall magnetoresistance is observed in four types of samples: co-sputtered (Fe1-xMnx)0.6Pt0.4, Fe1-xMnx and Pt multilayer, Fe1-xMnx with x = 0.17 to 0.65 and Fe, and analyzed using the drift-diffusion model. Our results provide an alternative route to study charge-spin conversion in ferromagnets and to exploit it for potential spintronic applications.
In this work we report the opening of an energy gap at the filling factor $ u=3+1/3$, firmly establishing the ground state as a fractional quantum Hall state. This and other odd-denominator states unexpectedly break particle-hole symmetry. Specifical ly, we find that the relative magnitudes of the energy gaps of the $ u=3+1/3$ and $3+1/5$ states from the upper spin branch are reversed when compared to the $ u=2+1/3$ and $2+1/5$ counterpart states in the lower spin branch. Our findings raise the possibility that the former states have a non-conventional origin.
We compute the effect of Landau-level-mixing on the effective two-body and three-body pseudopotentials for electrons in the lowest and second Landau levels. We find that the resulting effective three-body interaction is attractive in the lowest relat ive angular momentum channel. The renormalization of the two-body pseudopotentials also shows interesting structure. We comment on the implications for the $ u=5/2$ fractional quantum Hall state.
The prospect of a Dirac half metal, a material which is characterized by a bandstructure with a gap in one spin channel but a Dirac cone in the other, is of both fundamental interest and a natural candidate for use in spin-polarized current applicati ons. However, while the possibility of such a material has been reported based on model calculations[H. Ishizuka and Y. Motome, Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 237207 (2012)], it remains unclear what material system might realize such an exotic state. Using first-principles calculations, we show that the experimentally accessible Mn intercalated epitaxial graphene on SiC(0001) transits to a Dirac half metal when the coverage is > 1/3 monolayer. This transition results from an orbital-selective breaking of quasi-2D inversion symmetry, leading to symmetry breaking in a single spin channel which is robust against randomness in the distribution of Mn intercalates. Furthermore, the inclusion of spin-orbit interaction naturally drives the system into the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) state. Our results thus not only demonstrate the practicality of realizing the Dirac half metal beyond a toy model but also open up a new avenue to the realization of the QAH effect.
