Robust Flat Magnetoresistivity in D0$_3$-Fe$_3$Ga Driven by Chiral Anomaly

Topologically non-trivial nodes emerging from flat-band crossings not only enhance unconventional topological responses but also play a fundamental role in exploring correlation-driven topological physics. Here, we report the exceptionally robust chiral-anomaly-dominated transport in D0_3-Fe_3Ga. First, we observe a combination of positive and negative magnetoresistance, ideal planar longitudinal magnetoresistance (PLMR), and the planar Hall effect (PHE). Second, ultra-low-temperature resistivity exhibits pronounced non-Fermi-liquid (NFL) behavior, accompanied by the emergence of giant intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC), in excellent agreement with our DFT calculations, which confirm the existence of tilted Weyl points arising from crossings of nearly three-dimensional (3D) flat bands. Most remarkably, we detect an exceptionally robust flat magnetoresistance (flat-MR) that persists without decay up to 33 T. This set of phenomena provides strong evidence that the Fermi level intersects the flattened Weyl crossings, offering confirmation of a topological flat-band semimetal. D0_3-Fe_3Ga presents a promising magnetic platform for quantum device innovations.

Zero-field Anomalous Hall Effect in Bulk Single Crystal Mn3Ir

The L1_2-phase non-collinear antiferromagnet (AFM) Mn_3Ir has emerged as a pioneering platform for realizing the zero-field anomalous Hall effect (AHE), thereby catalyzing rapid advances in antiferromagnetic spintronics. Despite its significant potential, experimental investigations of the intrinsic magnetic and electronic properties of Mn_3Ir have been greatly hindered by the formidable challenges in growing bulk single crystals. Here, we report the growth of stoichiometric Mn_3Ir bulk single crystals and their characterization in terms of magnetization and the AHE. Using a high-throughput flux method, we obtained (111)-oriented hexagonal Mn_3Ir single crystals. A small AHE signal was detected, which we attribute to the coexistence of A- and B-type antiferromagnetic domains that mutually cancel the net AHE response. Our results reveal key aspects of the intrinsic magnetic properties and AHE in bulk Mn_3Ir, providing a critical material platform for the development of advanced spintronic devices.
