Recent reports of a large anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in ferromagnetic Weyl semimetals (FM WSM) have led to a resurgence of interest in this enigmatic phenomenon. However, due to a lack of tunable materials, the interplay between the intrinsic mechanism caused by Berry curvature and extrinsic mechanisms due to scattering remains unclear in FM WSMs. In this contribution, we present a thorough investigation of both the extrinsic and intrinsic AHE in a new family of FM WSMs, PrAlGe$_{1-x}$Si$_x$, where $x$ can be tuned continuously. From DFT calculations, we show that the two end members, PrAlGe and PrAlSi, have different Fermi surfaces but similar Weyl node structures. Experimentally, we observe moderate changes in the anomalous Hall coefficient ($R_S$) but significant changes in the ordinary Hall coefficient ($R_0$) in PrAlGe$_{1-x}$Si$_x$ as a function of $x$, confirming a change of Fermi surface. By comparing the magnitude of $R_0$ and $R_S$, we identify two regimes; $|R_0|<|R_S|$ when $xle0.5$ and $|R_0|>|R_S|$ when $x>0.5$. Through a detailed scaling analysis, we discover a universal anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) from intrinsic contribution when $xle0.5$. Such universal AHC is absent when $x>0.5$. Thus, we point out the significance of the extrinsic mechanisms in FM WSMs and report the first observation of a transition from intrinsic to extrinsic AHE in PrAlGe$_{1-x}$Si$_x$.

Topological materials have recently attracted considerable attention among materials scientists as their properties are predicted to be protected against perturbations such as lattice distortion and chemical substitution. However, any experimental pr
oof of such robustness is still lacking. In this study, we experimentally demonstrate that the topological properties of the ferromagnetic kagome compound Co3Sn2S2 are preserved upon Ni substitution. We systematically vary the Ni content in Co3Sn2S2 single crystals and study their magnetic and anomalous transport properties. For the intermediate Ni substitution, we observe a remarkable increase in the coercive field while still maintaining significant anomalous Hall conductivity. The large anomalous Hall conductivity of these compounds is intrinsic, consistent with first-principle calculations, which proves its topological origin. Our results can guide further studies on the chemical tuning of topological materials for better understanding.
A developing frontier in condensed matter physics is the emergence of novel electromagnetic responses, such as topological and anomalous Hall effect (AHE), in ferromagnetic Weyl semimetals (FM-WSMs). Candidates of FM-WSM are limited to materials that
preserve inversion symmetry and generate Weyl crossings by breaking time-reversal symmetry. These materials share three common features: a centrosymmetric lattice, a collinear FM ordering, and a large AHE observed when the field is parallel to the magnetic easy-axis. Here, we present CeAlSi as a new type of FM-WSM, where the Weyl nodes are stabilized by breaking inversion symmetry, but their positions are tuned by breaking time-reversal symmetry. Unlike the other FM-WSMs, CeAlSi has a noncentrosymmetric lattice, a noncollinear FM ordering, and a novel AHE that is anisotropic between the easy- and hard-axes. It also exhibits large FM domains that are promising for both device applications and an interplay between the Weyl nodes and FM domain walls.
We report a comprehensive investigation of the structural, magnetic, transport and thermodynamic properties of a single crystal PrAlSi, in comparison to its nonmagnetic analogue LaAlSi. PrAlSi exhibits a ferromagnetic transition at $T_C$ = 17.8 K whi
ch, however, is followed by two weak phase transitions at lower temperatures. Based on the combined dc and ac magnetic susceptibility measurements, we propose the two reentrant magnetic phases below $T_C$ to be spin glasses or ferromagnetic cluster glasses. When the magnetic glassy states are suppressed by small field, several remarkable features appear. These include a linear, nonsaturating magnetoresistance as a function of field that is reminiscent of a topological or charge-compensated semimetal, and a large anomalous Hall conductivity amounting to $sim$2000 $Omega ^{-1}$cm$^{-1}$. Specific-heat measurements indicate a non-Kramers doublet ground state and a relatively low crystal electric field splitting of the Pr$^{3+}$ multiplets of less than 100 K. Shubnikov-de Hass oscillations are absent in LaAlSi, whereas they are clearly observed below about 25 K in PrAlSi, with an unusual temperature dependence of the dominating oscillation frequency $F$. It increases from $F$ = 18 T at 25 K to $F$ = 33 T at 2 K, hinting at an emerging Fermi pocket upon cooling into the ordered phase. These results suggest that PrAlSi is a new system where a small Fermi pocket of likely relativistic fermions is strongly coupled to magnetism. Whether hybridization between $f$ and conduction band is also involved remains an intriguing open problem.
The modulation of the electronic structure by an external magnetic field, which could further control the electronic transport behaviour of a system, is highly desired. Herein, an unconventional anomalous Hall effect (UAHE) was observed during magnet
ization process in the magnetic Weyl semimetal EuB6, resulting in an unconventional anomalous Hall-conductivity as high as ~1000 {Omega}-1 cm-1 and a Hall-angle up to ~10%. The system even only shows the UAHE, meaning that the anomalous Hall signal completely comes from the UAHE, with UAHE accounting for 100% and 87.5% of the AHE and the total Hall response, respectively. Theoretical calculations revealed that a largely enhanced Berry curvature was induced by the dynamic folding of the topological bands due to the spin-canting effect under external magnetic fields, which further produced the prominent UAHE even in a low-field magnetization process. These findings elucidate the connection between the non-collinear magnetism and the topological electronic state as well as reveal a novel manner to manipulate the transport behaviour of topological electrons.
Anomalous Hall effect (AHE) can be induced by intrinsic mechanism due to the band Berry phase and extrinsic one arising from the impurity scattering. The recently discovered magnetic Weyl semimetal Co3Sn2S2 exhibits a large intrinsic anomalous Hall c
onductivity (AHC) and a giant anomalous Hall angle (AHA). The predicted energy dependence of the AHC in this material exhibits a plateau at 1000 {Omega}-1 cm-1 and an energy width of 100 meV just below EF, thereby implying that the large intrinsic AHC will not significantly change against small-scale energy disturbances such as slight p-doping. Here, we successfully trigger the extrinsic contribution from alien-atom scattering in addition to the intrinsic one of the pristine material by introducing a small amount of Fe dopant to substitute Co in Co3Sn2S2. Our experimental results show that the AHC and AHA can be prominently enhanced up to 1850 {Omega}-1 cm-1 and 33%, respectively, owing to the synergistic contributions from the intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms as distinguished by the TYJ model. In particular, the tuned AHA holds a record value in low fields among known magnetic materials. This study opens up a pathway to engineer giant AHE in magnetic Weyl semimetals, thereby potentially advancing the topological spintronics/Weyltronics.
