摘要:

实空间中的非平凡磁织构引起了拓扑霍尔效应(THE)这一有趣的现象,而这一现象在拓扑半金属中的研究相对较少。在这里,我们报告大的反铁磁(AFM)状态EuAgAs,AFM狄拉克半金属单晶。EuAgAs主机AFM基态低于$T_N$ = 12 K的弱铁磁成分。低于$T_N$的面内等温磁化强度表现出弱的变磁转变。我们还观察到手征反常诱导的正纵向磁导率,这表明在外加磁场下存在Weyl费米子态。第一性原理计算表明,EuAgAs是一种具有一对Dirac锥的AFM Dirac半金属,因此,在外加磁场的时间反演对称性破缺下可以实现Weyl半金属态.我们的研究建立了EuAgAs是一个新的系统,利用带拓扑结构和磁纹理的拓扑结构的相互作用。

英文摘要:

The non-trivial magnetic texture in real space gives rise to the intriguing phenomenon of topological Hall effect (THE), which is relatively less explored in topological semimetals. Here, we report large THE in the antiferromagnetic (AFM) state in single crystals of EuAgAs, an AFM Dirac semimetal. EuAgAs hosts AFM ground state below $T_N$ = 12 K with a weak ferromagnetic component. The in-plane isothermal magnetization below $T_N$ exhibits a weak metamagnetic transition. We also observe chiral anomaly induced positive longitudinal magnetoconductivity which indicates a Weyl fermion state under applied magnetic field. The first-principles calculations reveal that EuAgAs is an AFM Dirac semimetal with a pair of Dirac cones, and therefore, a Weyl semimetailic state can be realized under time-reversal symmetry breaking via an applied magnetic field. Our study establishes that EuAgAs is a novel system for exploiting the interplay of band topology and the topology of the magnetic texture.
