Abstract
The anomalous Hall angle (θA) is a measure of the efficiency of converting a longitudinal driving current into a transverse spin-polarized Hall current. In sensors based on the anomalous Hall effect, a large anomalous Hall angle can improve the sensitivity of magnetic field detection. However, the modulation of this angle is challenging, and magnetic materials typically have low angles of 0.1°–3°. Here we report the modulation of θA in the magnetic Weyl semimetal Co3Sn2S2. We show that the anomalous Hall angle parameter tanθA can be formulated as a function of the product of electrical resistivity and anomalous Hall conductivity. We use this scheme to demonstrate the modulation of tanθA up to a magnitude of 0.46, corresponding to an angle of around 25°. We further fabricate anomalous Hall devices using Fe-doped Co3Sn2S2 single-crystalline nanoflakes and demonstrate a Hall sensitivity of 7,028 ± 341 μΩ cm T–1 and a magnetic field detectability of 23.5 ± 1.7 nT Hz–0.5 at 1 Hz.
