Oxide interfaces are a source of spin-orbit coupling which can lead to novel spin-to-charge conversion effects. In this work the contribution of the Bi$_2$O$_3$ interface to the anomalous Hall effect of Co is experimentally studied in Co/Bi$_2$O$_3$ bilayers. We evidence a variation of 40% in the AHE of Co when a Bi$_2$O$_3$ capping layer is added to the ferromagnet. This strong variation is attributed to an additional source of asymmetric transport in Co/Bi$_2$O$_3$ bilayers that originates from the Co/Bi$_2$O$_3$ interface and contributes to the skew scattering.

We have studied the spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR), the magnetoresistance within the plane transverse to the current flow, of Pt/Co bilayers. We find that the SMR increases with increasing Co thickness: the effective spin Hall angle for bilayers w ith thick Co exceeds the reported values of Pt when a conventional drift-diffusion model is used. An extended model including spin transport within the Co layer cannot account for the large SMR. To identify its origin, contributions from other sources are studied. For most bilayers, the SMR increases with decreasing temperature and increasing magnetic field, indicating that magnon-related effects in the Co layer play little role. Without the Pt layer, we do not observe the large SMR found for the Pt/Co bilayers with thick Co. Implementing the effect of the so-called interface magnetoresistance and the textured induced anisotropic scattering cannot account for the Co thickness dependent SMR. Since the large SMR is present for W/Co but its magnitude reduces in W/CoFeB, we infer its origin is associated with a particular property of Co.
Magnetic Weyl semimetals exhibit intriguing transport phenomena due to their non-trivial band structure. Recent experiments in bulk crystals of the shandite-type Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ have shown that this material system is a magnetic Weyl semimetal. To access the length scales relevant for chiral transport, it is mandatory to fabricate microstructures of this fascinating compound. We therefore have cut micro-ribbons (typical size $0.3~times~3~times~50$mu$m^3$) from Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ single crystals using a focused beam of Ga$^{2+}$-ions and investigated the impact of the sample dimensions and possible surface doping on the magnetotransport properties. The large intrinsic anomalous Hall effect observed in the micro ribbons is quantitatively consistent with the one in bulk samples. Our results show that focused ion beam cutting can be used for nano-patterning single crystalline Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$, enabling future transport experiments in complex microstructures of this Weyl semimetal.
The influence of Sb content, substrate type and cap layers on the quantum anomalous Hall effect observed in V-doped (Bi,Sb)$_2$Te$_3$ magnetic topological insulators is investigated. Thin layers showing excellent quantization are reproducibly deposit ed by molecular beam epitaxy at growth conditions effecting a compromise between controlled layer properties and high crystalline quality. The Sb content can be reliably determined from the in-plane lattice constant measured by X-ray diffraction, even in thin layers. This is the main layer parameter to be optimized in order to approach charge neutrality. Within a narrow range at about 80% Sb content, the Hall resistivity shows a maximum of about 10 k$Omega$ at 4 K and quantizes at mK temperatures. Under these conditions, thin layers grown on Si(111) or InP(111) and with or without a Te cap exhibit quantization. The quantization persists independently of the interfaces between cap, layer and substrate, the limited crystalline quality, and the degradation of the layer proving the robustness of the quantum anomalous Hall effect.
We study the evolution of magnetoresistance with temperature in thin film bilayers consisting of platinum and the antiferromagnet Cr$_2$O$_3$ with its easy axis out of the plane. We vary the temperature from 20 - 60{deg}C, close to the Neel temperatu re of Cr$_2$O$_3$ of approximately 37{deg}C. The magnetoresistive response is recorded during rotations of the external magnetic field in three mutually orthogonal planes. A large magnetoresistance having a symmetry consistent with a positive spin Hall magnetoresistance is observed in the paramagnetic phase of the Cr$_2$O$_3$, which however vanishes when cooling to below the Neel temperature. Comparing to analogous experiments in a Gd$_3$Ga$_5$O$_{12}$/Pt heterostructure, we conclude that a paramagnetic field induced magnetization in the insulator is not sufficient to explain the observed magnetoresistance. We speculate that the type of magnetic moments at the interface qualitatively impacts the spin angular momentum transfer, with the $3d$ moments of Cr sinking angular momentum much more efficiently as compared to the more localized $4f$ moments of Gd.
We report the observation of quantum Hall effect (QHE) in a Bi$_2$Se$_3$ single crystal having carrier concentration ($n$) $sim1.13times10^{19}$cm$^{-3}$, three dimensional Fermi surface and bulk transport characteristics. The plateaus in Hall resist ivity coincide with minima of Shubnikov de Haas oscillations in resistivity. Our results demonstrate that the presence of perfect two dimensional transport is not an essential condition for QHE in Bi$_2$Se$_3$. The results of high resolution x-ray diffraction (HRXRD), energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and residual resistivity measurements show the presence of enhanced crystalline defects and microstrain. We propose that the formation of localized state at the edge of each Landau level due to resonance between the bulk and defect band of Bi$_2$Se$_3$ causes the quantum Hall effect.
