The Weyl antiferromagnet Mn₃Sn has been recently attracting significant attention as it exhibits various useful functions such as a large anomalous Hall effect that is normally absent in antiferromagnets. Here, we report the thin film fabrication of the single phase of Mn₃Sn and the observation of the large anomalous Hall effect at room temperature despite its vanishingly small magnetization. Here, our work on the high-quality thin film growth of the Weyl antiferromagnet paves the path for developing antiferromagnetic spintronics.
