Published: December 2022

Kagome lattice materials have attracted growing interest for their topological properties and flatbands in electronic structure. We present a comprehensive study on the anisotropy and out-of-plane electric transport in Fe_{3}Sn_{2}, a metal with bilayer of Fe kagome planes and with massive Dirac fermions that features high-temperature noncollinear magnetic structure and magnetic skyrmions. For the electrical current path along the c axis, in micron-size crystals, we found a large topological Hall effect over a wide temperature range down to spin-glass state. Twofold and fourfold angular magnetoresistance are observed for different magnetic phases, reflecting the competition of magnetic interactions and magnetic anisotropy in kagome lattice that preserve robust topological Hall effect for inter-kagome bilayer currents. This provides new insight into the anisotropy in Fe_{3}Sn_{2}, of interest in skyrmionic-bubble application-related micron-size devices.

Tuning anomalous Hall conductivity antiferromagnetic configurations in GdPtBi.

Phys Chem Chem Phys

Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Jl. Ganesha No 10, Bandung 40132, Jawa Barat, Indonesia.

The magnetic, electronic, and topological properties of GdPtBi were systematically investigated using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Various magnetic configurations were examined, including ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) states, with particular focus on AFM states where the Gd magnetic moments align either parallel (AFM) or perpendicular (AFM) to the [111] crystal direction. For AFM, the in-plane angles were varied at = 0°, 15°, and 30° (denoted as AFM, AFM, and AFM, respectively).

Observing non-Hermiticity induced chirality breaking in a synthetic Hall ladder.

Non-Hermitian topological photonics plays a key role in bridging topological matter with gain and loss engineering in optics. Here we report the experimental observation of the break of chiral currents in a Hall ladder from the non-Hermiticity by constructing synthetic frequency dimension in two rings, where currents on both legs of the ladder co-propagate in the same direction. The origin of such phenomena is resulted from the interplay between the effective magnetic flux and the on-site gain and loss.

Topological phases are robust against weak perturbations, but break down when disorder becomes sufficiently strong. However, moderate disorder can also induce topologically nontrivial phases. Thouless pumping, as a (1+1)D counterpart of the integer quantum Hall effect, is one of the simplest manifestations of topology.
