Thermodynamic and transport properties are reported on single crystals of the hexagonal antiferromagnet Mn3Sn grown by Sn flux technique. Magnetization measurements reveal two magnetic phase transitions at T1 = 275 K T2 200 K, below antiferromagnetic transition TN ≈ 420 K. The Hall conductivity in zero field is suppressed dramatically from 4.7 Ω−1 cm−1 to near T1, coincident with vanishing weak ferromagnetic moment. This illustrates that large anomalous effect arising Berry curvature can be...
We investigated the temperature dependence of upper critical field $[{H}_{c2}(T)]$ fluorine-free ${\text{SmFeAsO}}_{0.85}$ and fluorine-doped ${\text{SmFeAsO}}_{0.8}{\text{F}}_{0.2}$ single crystals by measuring resistive transition in low static magnetic fields pulsed up to 60 T. Both show that ${H}_{c2}(T)$'s along $c$ axis $[{H}_{c2}^{c}(T)]$ an $ab$-planar direction $[{H}_{c2}^{ab}(T)]$ exhibit a linear sublinear increase, respectively, with decreasing below superconducting transition....
