Study of the Anomalous Hall effect by tuning the spin orientation in the Altermagnetic material CrSb
Recent development in the field of altermagnetism, and increased demand for the search of applications of anomalous hall effect have ushered in a new era for novel quantum phases in materials. Quantum materials previously anticipated to be scientifically predictable have unfolded novel properties that brought them into the spotlight. These manifestations have led us to rethink our understanding of existing classification of magnetic materials and preexisting notions about anomalous hall effect in the light of topologically nontrivial phases of matter. One such recent de- velopment lies in the novel class of alter-magnetic materials with prospect for quantum computing. In this article, we delineate the spin and orbital resolved electronic spectrum, mode-decomposed phonon dispersion relations, geometrical berry curvature and topological surface states and their implications on anomalous Hall conductivity in the promising altermagnetic compound CrSb. We further utilize first principles calculations coupled with computationally efficient maximally localized wannier states of numerous magnetic configurations of the altermagnet to simulate the effect of external fields and elucidate the fact that the linear behaviour of anomalous hall conductivity with magnetization does not necessarily hold true for all magnetic classes, such as altermagnets.
