Anomalous Hall Effect in Layered Ferrimagnet MnSb_2Te_4

  • We report on low-temperature electron transport properties of MnSb_2Te_4, a candidate of ferrimagnetic Weyl semimetal. Long-range magnetic order is manifested as a nearly square-shaped hysteresis loop in the anomalous Hall resistance, as well as sharp jumps in the magnetoresistance. At temperatures below 4 K, a \rm lnT-type upturn appears in the temperature dependence of longitudinal resistance, which can be attributed to the electron-electron interaction (EEI), since the weak localization can be excluded by the temperature dependence of magnetoresistance. Although the anomalous Hall resistance exhibits a similar \rm lnT-type upturn in the same temperature range, such correction is absent in the anomalous Hall conductivity. Our work demonstrates that MnSb_2Te_4 microflakes provide an ideal system to test the theory of EEI correction to the anomalous Hall effect.
