Abstract:
Magnetic topological semimetals are manifestations of the interplay between electronic and magnetic phases of matter, leading to peculiar characteristics such as the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) and the topological Hall effect (THE). Mn3Sn is a time-reversal symmetry-broken magnetic Weyl semimetal showing topological characteristics within the Kagome lattice network. This study reveals a large THE in Mn2.8Sn (6% Mn deficit Mn3Sn) at room temperature in thexy-plane, despite being an antiferromagnet. We argue that the magnetocrystalline anisotropy induced noncoplanar spin structure is responsible for the observed THE in these systems. Further, the topological properties of these systems are highly anisotropic, as we observe a large AHE in thezx-plane. We find that Fe doping at the Mn site, Mn3-xFeSn (x= 0.2, 0.25, & 0.35), tunes the topological properties of these systems. These findings promise the realization of potential topotronic applications at room temperature.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
