Abstract
Berry curvature and skew scattering play central roles in determining both the linear and nonlinear anomalous Hall effects. Yet in PT-symmetric antiferromagnetic metals, Hall effects from either intrinsic Berry curvature mediated anomalous velocity or the conventional skew-scattering process individually vanish. Here we reveal an unexpected nonlinear Hall effect that relies on both Berry curvature and skew-scattering working in cooperation. This anomalous skew-scattering nonlinear Hall effect (ASN) is PT even and dominates the low-frequency nonlinear Hall effect for PT-symmetric antiferromagnetic metals. Surprisingly, we find that in addition to its Hall response, ASN produces helicity dependent photocurrents, in contrast to other known PT-even nonlinearities in metals that are helicity blind. This characteristic enables us to isolate ASN and establishes new photocurrent tools to interrogate the antiferromagnetic order of PT-symmetric metals.
