Abstract:
The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is a transport phenomenon typically observed in ferromagnetic materials with broken time-reversal symmetry . Recently, the AHE has been observed in several archetype antiferromagnets (AFMs), including altermagnets, and AFMs with noncollinear, noncoplanar or canted Néel order, due to the breaking of joint symmetry of sublattice-transposing and time-reversal operation. However, the AHE is generally not allowed in collinear AFMs due to symmetry constraints. Here, we report the observation of the AHE in a collinear AFM L10-IrMn (001) film. Scanning transmission electron microscopy investigation shows the presence of (200)-oriented grains in the L10-IrMn (001)-oriented film due to the large lattice mismatch between the films and substrate. Consequently, the joint symmetry, with being the translation operation, may be locally broken in our samples, thus enabling the AHE, which is further supported by ab initio calculations. Our work provides a novel way to generate the AHE in AFMs by engineering the local symmetry.

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...
