Title: Anomalous Hall effect in the van der Waals bonded ferromagnet Fe 3 - x GeTe 2

Abstract

Here, we report the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in single crystals of a quasi-two-dimensional Fe3–xGeTe2 (x ≈ 0.36) ferromagnet grown by the flux method which induces defects on the Fe site and bad metallic resistivity. Fe K-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy was measured to provide information on the local atomic environment in such crystals. The dc and ac magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate a second-stage transition below 119 K in addition to the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition at 153 K. A linear scaling behavior between the modified anomalous Hall resistivity ρxy/μ0Heff and longitudinal resistivity ρ2xxM/μ0Heff implies that the AHE in Fe3–xGeTe2 should be dominated by the intrinsic Karplus-Luttinger mechanism rather than the extrinsic skew-scattering and side-jump mechanisms. The observed deviation in the linear-M Hall conductivity σAxy below 30 K is in line with its transport characteristic at low temperatures, implying the scattering of conduction electrons due to magnetic disorder and the evolution of the Fermi surface induced by a possible spin-reorientation transition.
