Magnetic materials exhibiting topological Dirac fermions are attracting significant attention for their promising technological potential in spintronics. In these systems, the combined effect of the spin-orbit coupling and magnetic order enables the realization of novel topological phases with exotic transport properties, including the anomalous Hall effect and magneto-chiral phenomena. Furthermore, we report experimental evidence of topological Dirac antiferromagnetism in TaCoTe2 via angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) and first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In particular, we find the existence of spin-orbit coupling-induced gaps at the Fermi level, consistent with the manifestation of a large intrinsic non-linear Hall conductivity. Remarkably, we find that the latter is extremely sensitive to the orientation of the N´eel vector, suggesting TaCoTe2 a suitable candidate for the realization of non-volatile spintronic devices with an unprecedented level of intrinsic tunability.
