Giant topological Hall effect around room temperature in noncollinear ferromagnet NdMn2Ge2 single crystal

We report the observation of the giant topological Hall effect near room temperature in a complex noncollinear ferromagnet NdMn2Ge2 single crystal. Three successive magnetic transitions are observed below 400 K, including a spin reorientation transition at TSR = 215 K. The complex noncollinear magnetic structures give rise to anomalous transport behaviors. When the current flows along the a axis and the magnetic field is applied along the c...
