Anisotropic planar Hall effect in the type-II topological Weyl semimetal WTe2

Abstract: The giant planar Hall effect arising from a chiral anomaly, and that is related to the Berry curvature, has been predicted but never observed in nonmagnetic type-II Dirac/Weyl semimetals. Here, we report an observation of the anisotropic planar Hall effect in type-II Weyl semimetal WTe 2. Interestingly, we observe a chiral-anomaly-induced sinusoidal angular-dependent planar Hall effect when the electric field is parallel to the tilting direction of Weyl cone, i.e., the b axis of WTe 2. The planar Hall effect a… Show more

“…The deviation in Kohler’s scaling is also in line with our nonlinear Hall data and multiband transport above 50 K. We performed a power law (Fig. 3 a inset) with MR% data at 2 K and fitting yields n = 1.53 which shows a subquadratic field dependence 60 , 61 . MR ~ B n where n is predicted to be 2 for semimetals with perfect electron–hole compensation.…”

“…[ 74 ] The LVO–KTO interface not only shows the highest internal magnetic field (Rashba field) among all perovskite oxide interfaces [ 45 ] but also exhibits planar Hall effect (PHE) and anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR), thereby strongly resembling Weyl materials. [ 75–78 ] A new system forming 2DEG at the interface of LaCrO 3 (LCO)–KTO has been recently reported showing interfacial coupling. [ 79 ] All these fascinating observations (also summarized in Figure 2a) were reported within the last five years, which strongly suggests a bright future for KTO based systems.…”

“…Recently, the effect is in the spotlight due to its role in probing topological characteristics such as chirality. In Weyl semimetals, the origin of PHE coupled with negative magnetoresistance is considered a signature of chiral anomaly [18][19][20][21][22][23][24] . The origin of non-zero off-diagonal terms in the resistivity tensor could be attributed to several mechanisms including classical orbital magnetoresistance 25 .…”
