Terahertz anomalous Hall effect in the magnetic Weyl semimetal Co 3 Sn 2 S 2

Time-reversal-symmetry-broken Weyl semimetals are known to have at least two nodes in their electronic band structure, separated in momentum space and acting as sources and sinks of Berry curvature. This gives rise to a transverse Hall conductivity, known as the anomalous Hall effect (AHE), which, in the simplest two-node picture, is proportional to the momentum-space separation between the nodes in the zero frequency limit. In the recently discovered Weyl semimetal $\mathrm{Co_3Sn_2S_2}$, a giant AHE has been observed. However, experimental investigations in the low-energy regime, which directly probe quasiparticle excitations near the Weyl nodes, remain limited. Here, we present a systematic study of the intrinsic low-energy gyrotropic optical response of $\mathrm{Co_3Sn_2S_2}$ using terahertz spectroscopy combined with semianalytical calculations based on a physically intuitive effective model. Our results provide a robust and transparent explanation of the observed magnetooptical phenomena in terms of intrinsic gyrotropy arising from momentum-space separation of the Weyl nodes. Furthermore, quantitative comparison between experiment and theory places stringent constraints on the material parameters.

Abstract

Time-reversal-symmetry-broken Weyl semimetals are known to have at least two nodes in their electronic band structure, separated in momentum space and acting as sources and sinks of Berry curvature. This gives rise to a transverse Hall conductivity, known as the anomalous Hall effect (AHE), which, in the simplest two-node picture, is proportional to the momentum-space separation between the nodes in the zero frequency limit. In the recently discovered Weyl semimetal $\mathrm{Co_3Sn_2S_2}$, a giant AHE has been observed. However, experimental investigations in the low-energy regime, which directly probe quasiparticle excitations near the Weyl nodes, remain limited. Here, we present a systematic study of the intrinsic low-energy gyrotropic optical response of $\mathrm{Co_3Sn_2S_2}$ using terahertz spectroscopy combined with semianalytical calculations based on a physically intuitive effective model. Our results provide a robust and transparent explanation of the observed magnetooptical phenomena in terms of intrinsic gyrotropy arising from momentum-space separation of the Weyl nodes. Furthermore, quantitative comparison between experiment and theory places stringent constraints on the material parameters.
