Flux state and anomalous quantum Hall effect in square Kondo lattice

The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) around the flux state in square Kondo lattice is investigated. By introducing the lattice distortion and local chirality, the square Kondo lattice can break the parity symmetry and time reversal symmetry spontaneously, and thus generate a topological nontriviality in the band structure associated with the AHE. Moreover, a possible realization of this AHE in multiferroic TbMnO$_3$ is discussed.
