摘要:

在磁性Weyl半金属中,磁性打破了时间反演对称性,预计大的磁敏感异常输运响应可能对拓扑自旋电子学有用。因此,对新的磁性外尔半金属的识别具有很高的需求,特别是因为在这些系统中,外尔节点配置可以容易地使用磁场进行修改。在这里,我们探索实验的磁性半金属PrAlGe,并揭示了易轴Pr铁磁性和异常霍尔和能斯特效应之间的直接对应关系。与第一性原理计算在良好的定量协议的异常霍尔电导率和能斯特效应的大小,我们确定PrAlGe作为一个系统,其中磁场可以直接连接到Weyl节点通过Pr磁化。此外,我们发现主要易磁化轴铁磁基态共存的纳米级织构磁畴壁的低密度。我们描述了这种纳米级的磁性纹理可以作为一个本地平台可调轴向规范场的外尔费米子。

英文摘要:

In magnetic Weyl semimetals, where magnetism breaks time-reversal symmetry, large magnetically sensitive anomalous transport responses are anticipated that could be useful for topological spintronics. The identification of new magnetic Weyl semimetals is therefore in high demand, particularly since in these systems Weyl node configurations may be easily modified using magnetic fields. Here we explore experimentally the magnetic semimetal PrAlGe, and unveil a direct correspondence between easy-axis Pr ferromagnetism and anomalous Hall and Nernst effects. With sizes of both the anomalous Hall conductivity and Nernst effect in good quantitative agreement with first principles calculations, we identify PrAlGe as a system where magnetic fields can connect directly to Weyl nodes via the Pr magnetization. Furthermore, we find the predominantly easy-axis ferromagnetic ground state co-exists with a low density of nanoscale textured magnetic domain walls. We describe how such nanoscale magnetic textures could serve as a local platform for tunable axial gauge fields of Weyl fermions.
