The magnetic structure, magnetoresistance, and Hall effect of the noncentrosymmetric magnetic semimetal NdAlGe are investigated. The study reveals an unusual magnetic state and anomalous transport properties that are associated with the electronic structure of the compound. The presence of Weyl nodes contributes to the large anomalous Hall conductivity.
The magnetic structure, magnetoresistance (MR), and Hall effect of the noncentrosymmetric magnetic semimetal NdAlGe are investigated, revealing an unusual magnetic state and anomalous transport properties that are associated with the electronic structure of this compound. The magnetization and MR measurements are both highly anisotropic and indicate an Ising-like magnetic system. The magnetic structure is complex in that it involves two magnetic ordering vectors, including an incommensurate spin density wave and commensurate ferrimagnetic state in zero field. We have discovered a large anomalous Hall conductivity that reaches approximate to 430 ohm(-1) cm(-1), implying that it originates from an intrinsic Berry curvature effect stemming fromWeyl nodes found in the electronic structure. These electronic structure calculations indicate the presence of nested Fermi surface pockets with nesting wave vectors like the measured magnetic ordering wave vector and the presence of Weyl nodes in proximity to the Fermi surface. We associate the incommensurate magnetic structure with the large anomalous Hall response to be the result of the combination of Fermi surface nesting and the Berry curvature associated with Weyl nodes.
