Unconventional anomalous Hall effect and large anomalous Nernst effect in antiferromagnet SmMnBi₂

This paper investigates the unconventional anomalous Hall effect (UAHE) and large anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) in the antiferromagnetic material SmMnBi₂. The study combines transport measurements, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), and first-principles calculations to demonstrate that the UAHE originates from the intrinsic Berry curvature due to canted antiferromagnetism, while the ANE is likely amplified by extrinsic mechanisms. SmMnBi₂ is identified as a promising material for exploring unusual transverse transport effects.
