Abstract:
Temperature dependences of low field Hall resistivity $\rho_{\text{H}}$ are used to
separate anomalous ($\rho_{\text{H}}^a$) and normal ($R_{\text{H}}B$)
contributions to Hall effect
in chiral magnet MnSi ($T_{c}\approx29.1\,$K). It is found that the transition
between paramagnetic ($T>T_c$) and magnetically ordered ($T<T_c$) phases
is accompanied by the change in anomalous Hall resistivity from low temperature
behavior governed by Berry phase effects
($\rho_{\text{H}}^a=\mu_0S_2\rho^2M$,
$T<T_c$) to high temperature regime dominated by skew scattering
($\rho_{\text{H}}^a=\mu_0S_1\rho M$, $T>T_c$). The crossover between the
intrinsic (${\sim}\,\rho^2$) and extrinsic (${\sim}\,\rho$) contributions to
anomalous Hall effect develops together with the noticeable increase of the
charge carriers' concentration estimated from the normal Hall coefficient (from
$n/n_{\text{Mn}}$($T>T_c)\approx0.94$ to $n/n_{\text{Mn}}$($T<T_c)\approx1.5$,
$n_{\text{Mn}}\approx4.2\cdot10^{22}$ cm$^{-3}$). The observed features may
correspond to the dramatic change in Fermi surface topology induced by the onset
of long range magnetic order in MnSi.
