Abstract:
The electron-electron interaction (EEI), weak localization and Kondo effect are known to correct low-temperature (low-T) resistivity in metals and semimetals. However, the impact of EEI on the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) by EEI remains a subject of debate. In this study, we investigate the EEI corrections to both the low-Tlongitudinal and AH resistivities in van der Waals ferromagnetic Fe3GaTe2single crystals with a high Curie temperature. Our findings reveal that the longitudinal resistivity is well-described by the EEI theory developed by Altshuleret al,while the AH resistivity deviates from this theory. We found that the AH resistivity follows aTtemperature dependence, and its relative rate of change is 2.6 times that of the longitudinal resistivity. These results demonstrate that EEI significantly influences the low-TAH resistivity under intrinsic mechanism in Fe3GaTe2. This observation challenges the conventional understanding that EEI does not contribute to the AHE in systems with mirror symmetry, as suggested by skew scattering and side jump models. This work opens avenues for further exploration of EEI effect in disordered magnetic materials.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

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...
