摘要

It is generally believed that electronic correlation, geometric frustration, and topology, individually, can facilitate the emergence of various intriguing properties that have attracted a broad audience for both fundamental research and potential applications. Here, we report a series of unconventional Hall effects observed in a single compound—quasi-kagome Kondo Weyl semimetal candidate Ce3TiSb5. In the paramagnetic phase, signature of dynamic c-f hybridization is revealed by a reduction of anomalous Hall effect and is connected to frustration-promoted incoherent Kondo scattering. A large topological Hall effect exceeding 0.2 μΩ ⋅ cm is found at low temperatures, which should be ascribed to the non-collinear magnetic texture. In addition, a peculiar loop-shaped Hall effect with switching chirality is also seen, which is inferred to be associated with magnetic domain walls that pin history-dependent spin chirality and/or Fermi-arc surface states projected from the in-gap Weyl nodes. These exotic results place Ce3TiSb5 in a regime of highly-frustrated antiferromagnetic dense Kondo lattice with a nontrivial topology on an “extended” global phase diagram, and highlight the interplay among electronic correlation, geometric frustration and topology.
