Berry curvature induced unconventional electronic transport behaviors in magnetic topological semimetals

Abstract

In recent years, more and more magnetic topological materials, especially magnetic Weyl semimetals, have been discovered, providing a platform for studying the electronic transport behavior. The strong Berry curvature of magnetic topological materials can significantly enhance the conventional transverse transport behaviors, and can also make the transport phenomena that have been overlooked or unobserved appear gradually. In this review, the semi-classical equation is used to understand the anomalous transport behaviors in magnetic topological materials. The intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity is obtained by integrating the Berry curvature of the occupied states, which is determined by the electronic band structure. The topological electronic state can be modulated by magnetic field and doping, and the anomalous Hall conductivity was changed with the evolution of the Berry curvature. A linear positive magnetoresistance behavior associated with the Berry curvature and magnetic field is introduced, which establishes the relation between the Berry curvature and the longitudinal transport. Due to the presence of tilted Weyl cone, the conductivity terms related to the first power of magnetic field are observed in magnetic Weyl systems. These behaviors under the interaction of topology and magnetic provide a new understanding and insight for the electric transport behaviors. At last, this review also provides a viewpoint on the field of magnetic topological physics.
