Research Abstract

We have studied the anomalous transport properties of the conductive triangular-lattice antiferromagnet PdCrO2 and nonmagnetic PdCoO2. We revealed that PdCrO2 consists of the noncoplanar spin structure, leading to a finite scalar spin chirality at a local site. This structure is probably related to the emergence of the unconventional anomalous Hall effect of this compound. For PdCoO2, we discovered the extremely large magnetoresistance that can reach up to 35000% of the zero field resistivity. Based on the semiclassical calculation, we revealed that the observed large magnetoresistance of PdCoO2 is closely related to the Lorentz-force-driven orbital motion of the high-mobility charge carries.
