Anomalous Hall effect from frustration-tuned scalar chirality distribution in Pr2Ir2O7

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

We analyse the Ising Kondo lattice model on a pyrochlore structure in order to study the anomalous Hall effect due to non-coplanar magnetism. We focus on the frustration-induced spatial inhomogeneity of different magnetic low-temperature regimes, between which one can efficiently tune using an external magnetic field. We incorporate non-magnetic scattering on a phenomenological level so that we can distinguish between the effects of short-range correlations and short-range coherence. We obtain a Hall conductivity (σ_H) as function of field strength and direction which compares well to the experimental data of Pr2Ir2O7. In particular, we show that the observed peak in σ_H for H||[111] signals the crossover from zero-field spin ice to Kagome ice.
