Anomalous Hall effect in antiferromagnetic/non-magnetic interfaces

Materials Science 2021-01-04 v1

Abstract

We report a combined theoretical and experimental investigation of magnetic proximity and Hall transport in Pt/Cr bilayers. Density functional theory indicates that an interfacial magnetization can be induced in the Pt layer and a strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy with an easy axis out of plane arises in the antiferromagnet. A signal ascribed to the anomalous Hall effect is detected and associated to the interface between Pt and Cr layers. We show that this effect originates from the combination of proximity-induced magnetization and a nontrivial topology of the band structure at the interface.
