Title: Field-induced magnetic phase transitions and the resultant giant anomalous Hall effect in the antiferromagnetic half-Heusler compound DyPtBi

Abstract

We report field-induced magnetic phase transitions and transport properties of antiferromagnetic DyPtBi. We show that DyPtBi hosts a delicate balance between two different magnetic ground states, which can be controlled by a moderate magnetic field. Furthermore, it exhibits giant anomalous Hall effect (σA = 1540 Ω–1 cm–1, θAHE = 24%) in a field-induced type-I spin structure, presumably attributed to the enhanced Berry curvature associated with avoided band crossings near the Fermi energy and/or nonzero spin chirality. As a result, the latter mechanism points DyPtBi towards a rare potential realization of anomalous Hall effect in an antiferromagnet with face-centered-cubic lattice that was proposed.
