Large Anamolous Hall Effect in New Weyl Semimetal Kagome System: Fe<sub>3</sub>Sn

ORAL

Abstract

Weyl semimetals (WSM) are recently discovered novel topological matters present in the crystals which break either time reversal symmetry or inversion symmetry or both. WSM possess crossing of the non degenerate valence and conduction band forming a Weyl node which is robust to any type of local perturbations. Here, by means of density functional theory calculations, we have investigated the electronic, magnetic and topological properties of layered kagome metal Fe3Sn. The magnetic ground state is ferromagnetic with an in-plane easy axis. Furthermore, Fe3Sn is identified as a new WSM with large value of anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) close to the Fermi level. We will discuss in detail how the large AHC arises in new WSM Fe3Sn.
