Switching Anomalous Hall and Nernst Responses by Nonmagnetic N Occupation at Fixed Noncoplanar Mn Antiferromagnetic Order
Abstract
Nonmagnetic atomic occupation can control anomalous transverse transport by modifying magnetic symmetry without changing the underlying magnetic order. We demonstrate this effect using controlled γ-Mn, Mn4N, and MnN reference states with the same lattice constant and identical noncoplanar all-in-all-out Mn magnetic configurations, while varying only the occupation of the N sublattice. The anomalous Hall and anomalous Nernst responses exhibit a pronounced zero--finite--zero evolution across the series despite the unchanged Mn spin order. In γ-Mn and MnN, the high magnetic symmetry enforces complete cancellation of the Brillouin-zone-integrated Berry curvature. In Mn4N, N occupation lowers the magnetic symmetry while preserving inversion and breaking the relevant twofold rotational symmetries, thereby lifting the cancellation constraint and permitting an uncompensated Berry-curvature contribution along the [111] direction. The resulting finite anomalous Hall conductivity reaches −126~S/cm near the Fermi level. These results establish nonmagnetic sublattice occupation as a symmetry-control parameter for Berry-curvature-driven transport in compensated antiferromagnets, independent of changes in the magnetic order.

AB - Nonmagnetic atomic occupation can control anomalous transverse transport by modifying magnetic symmetry without changing the underlying magnetic order. We demonstrate this effect using controlled γ-Mn, Mn_4N, and MnN reference states with the same lattice constant and identical noncoplanar all-in-all-out Mn magnetic configurations, while varying only the occupation of the N sublattice. The anomalous Hall and anomalous Nernst responses exhibit a pronounced zero--finite--zero evolution across the series despite the unchanged Mn spin order. In γ-Mn and MnN, the high magnetic symmetry enforces complete cancellation of the Brillouin-zone-integrated Berry curvature. In Mn_4N, N occupation lowers the magnetic symmetry while preserving inversion and breaking the relevant twofold rotational symmetries, thereby lifting the cancellation constraint and permitting an uncompensated Berry-curvature contribution along the [111] direction. The resulting finite anomalous Hall conductivity reaches −126~S/cm near the Fermi level. These results establish nonmagnetic sublattice occupation as a symmetry-control parameter for Berry-curvature-driven transport in compensated antiferromagnets, independent of changes in the magnetic order.
