Co3Sn2S2, a quasi-two-dimensional system with kagome lattice, has been found as a magnetic Weyl semimetal recently. In this work, the anisotropies of magnetization and transport properties of Co3Sn2S2 were investigated. The high field measurements reveal a giant magnetocrystalline anisotropy with an out-of-plane saturation field of 0.9 kOe and an in-plane saturation field of 230 kOe at 2 K, showing a magnetocrystalline anisotropy coefficient Ku up to 8.3 * 10^5 J m-3, which indicates that it is extremely difficult to align the small moment of 0.29 {mu}B/Co on the kagome lattice from c axis to ab plane. The out-of-plane angular dependences of Hall conductivity further reveal strong anisotropies in Berry curvature and ferromagnetism, and the vector directions of both are always parallel with each other. For in-plane situation, the longitudinal and transverse measurements for both I parallel a and I perpendicular a cases show that the transport on the kagome lattice is isotropic. These results provide essential understanding on the magnetization and transport behaviors for the magnetic Weyl semimetal Co3Sn2S2.

The spin-orbit coupling (SOC) lifts the band degeneracy that plays a vital role in the search for different topological states, such as topological insulators (TIs) and topological semimetals (TSMs). In TSMs, the SOC can partially gap a degenerate no
dal line, leading to the formation of Dirac/Weyl semimetals (DSMs/WSMs). However, such SOC-induced gap structure along the nodal line in TSMs has not yet been systematically investigated experimentally. Here, we report a direct observation of such gap structure in a magnetic WSM Co3Sn2S2 using high resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Our results not only reveal the existence and importance of the strong SOC effect in the formation of the WSM phase in Co3Sn2S2, but also provide insights for the understanding of its exotic physical properties.
The physical realization of Chern insulators is of fundamental and practical interest, as they are predicted to host the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) and topologically protected chiral edge states which can carry dissipationless current. The
realization of the QAHE state has however been challenging because of the complex heterostructures and sub-Kelvin temperatures required. Time-reversal symmetry breaking Weyl semimetals, being essentially stacks of Chern insulators with inter-layer coupling, may provide a new platform for the higher temperature realization of robust QAHE edge states. In this work we present a combined scanning tunneling spectroscopy and theoretical investigation of a newly discovered magnetic Weyl semimetal, Co3Sn2S2. Using modeling and numerical simulations we find that chiral edge states can be localized on partially exposed Kagome planes on the surface of a Weyl semimetal. Correspondingly, our STM dI/dV maps on narrow kagome Co3Sn terraces show linearly dispersing quantum well like states, which can be attributed to hybridized chiral edge modes. Our experiment and theory results suggest a new paradigm for studying chiral edge modes in time-reversal breaking Weyl semimetals. More importantly, this work leads a practical route for realizing higher temperature QAHE.
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.
Bulk-surface correspondence in Weyl semimetals assures the formation of topological Fermi-arc surface bands whose existence is guaranteed by bulk Weyl nodes. By investigating three distinct surface terminations of the ferromagnetic semimetal Co3Sn2S2
we verify spectroscopically its classification as a time reversal symmetry broken Weyl semimetal. We show that the distinct surface potentials imposed by three different terminations modify the Fermi-arc contour and Weyl node connectivity. On the Sn surface we identify intra-Brillouin zone Weyl node connectivity of Fermi-arcs, while on Co termination the connectivity is across adjacent Brillouin zones. On the S surface Fermi-arcs overlap with non-topological bulk and surface states that ambiguate their connectivity and obscure their exact identification. By these we resolve the topologically protected electronic properties of a Weyl semimetal and its unprotected ones that can be manipulated and engineered.
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.
