Magnetic structure and phase stability of the van der Waals bonded ferromagnet Fe 3-x GeTe 2

The magnetic structure and phase diagram of the layered ferromagnetic compound Fe 3 GeTe 2 have been investigated by a combination of synthesis, x-ray and neutron diffraction, high-resolution microscopy, and magnetization measurements. Single crystals were synthesized by self-flux reactions, and single-crystal neutron diffraction finds ferromagnetic order with moments of 1.11(5)μ B /Fe aligned along the c axis at 4 K. These flux-grown crystals have a lower Curie temperature T c ≈ 150 K than crystals previously grown by vapor transport (T c = 220 K). The difference is a reduced Fe content in the flux-grown crystals, as illustrated by the behavior observed in a series of polycrystalline samples. As Fe content decreases, so do the Curie temperature, magnetic anisotropy, and net magnetization. Furthermore, Hall-effect and thermoelectric measurements on flux-grown crystals suggest that multiple carrier types contribute to electrical transport in Fe 3–x GeTe 2 and structurally similar Ni 3–x GeTe 2 .

Hall number across a van Hove singularity

In this paper, in the context of the relaxation time approximation to Boltzmann transport theory, we examine the behavior of the Hall number n H of a metal in the neighborhood of a Lifshitz transition from a closed Fermi surface to open sheets. We find a universal nonanalytic dependence of n H on the electron density in the high-field limit, but a nonsingular dependence at low fields. Finally, the existence of an assumed nematic transition produces a doping dependent n H similar to that observed in recent experiments in the high-temperature superconductor YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-x .

Anomalous Hall effect in the van der Waals bonded ferromagnet Fe 3 - x GeTe 2

Here, we report the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in single crystals of a quasi-two-dimensional Fe 3–x GeTe 2 (x ≈ 0.36) ferromagnet grown by the flux method which induces defects on the Fe site and bad metallic resistivity. Fe K-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy was measured to provide information on the local atomic environment in such crystals. The dc and ac magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate a second-stage transition below 119 K in addition to the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition at 153 K. A linear scaling behavior between the modified anomalous Hall resistivity ρxy/μ0Heff and longitudinal resistivity ρ 2 xx M/μ 0 H eff implies that the AHE in Fe 3–x GeTe 2 should be dominated by the intrinsic Karplus-Luttinger mechanism rather than the extrinsic skew-scattering and side-jump mechanisms. The observed deviation in the linear- M Hall conductivity σ A xy below 30 K is in line with its transport characteristic at low temperatures, implying the scattering of conduction electrons due to magnetic disorder and the evolution of the Fermi surface induced by a possible spin-reorientation transition.
