Abstract

The identification of topological Weyl semimetals has recently gained considerable attention. Here, we report the results of density-functional theory calculations regarding the magnetic properties, the electronic structure, and the intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity of the title compound, which was synthesized already 50 years ago but received little attention until now. We found <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><a:mrow><a:msub><a:mi>Cs</a:mi><a:mn>2</a:mn></a:msub><a:msub><a:mi>Co</a:mi><a:mn>3</a:mn></a:msub><a:msub><a:mi mathvariant="normal">S</a:mi><a:mn>4</a:mn></a:msub></a:mrow></a:math> to be a ferrimagnetic half-metal with a total spin magnetic moment of about <c:math xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><c:mrow><c:mn>3</c:mn><c:mspace width="0.16em"/><c:msub><c:mi>μ</c:mi><c:mi>B</c:mi></c:msub></c:mrow></c:math> per formula unit.
