The pith

In Fe1/5CrTe2 the intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity scales linearly with saturation magnetization even when extrinsic skew scattering dominates.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

This study examines the magnetic and transport properties of the quasi-two-dimensional ferromagnet Fe1/5CrTe2, which orders at 182 K. The magnetization's quadratic temperature dependence and the T to the 3/2 resistivity term indicate long-wavelength spin fluctuations and strong coupling to conduction electrons. Although the anomalous Hall effect is largely extrinsic due to Fe disorder, separating the components shows the intrinsic conductivity linked to Berry curvature varies linearly with magnetization. This linearity agrees with spin-fluctuation models where disorder reduces magnetization without altering the electronic bands. The work positions Fe1/5CrTe2 as a platform where topological responses persist amid fluctuations and disorder.

Core claim

The paper establishes that the intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity scales linearly with the saturation magnetization over a wide temperature range below the Curie point. This holds despite the total Hall response being dominated by extrinsic skew-scattering associated with Fe-related disorder. The scaling is consistent with a long-wavelength spin-fluctuation framework in which thermal spin disorder lowers the net magnetization while leaving the underlying electronic structure essentially unchanged.

What carries the argument

Separation of intrinsic (Berry-curvature) and extrinsic (skew-scattering) contributions to the anomalous Hall effect, revealing their distinct temperature dependences tied to magnetization and disorder.

Load-bearing premise

That the conventional separation of anomalous Hall resistivity into intrinsic and extrinsic parts accurately isolates the Berry curvature contribution without significant artifacts from the dominant extrinsic term across temperatures.

What would settle it

Observation of a nonlinear relation between the calculated Berry curvature and magnetization from temperature-dependent band structure calculations would contradict the linear scaling claim.

We present a thorough magnetization and magneto-transport study of the diluted Fe-intercalated CrTe2 family member, Fe1/5CrTe2, a van der Waals ferromagnet. Fe1/5CrTe2 shows an elevated Curie transition temperature of 182 K in comparison to the Fe1/3CrTe2 composition, indicating the sensitive role of Fe concentration in modulating magnetic exchange interactions within the CrTe2 framework. The saturated magnetization exhibits a quadratic dependence with temperature, indicating the presence of long-wavelength spin fluctuations. Analysis of the temperature dependent resistivity reveals a dominant T3/2 contribution over the typical T2 behavior, signaling substantial coupling between conduction electrons and localized spins. The magnetoresistance shows a linear and non-saturating negative field dependency throughout a wide temperature range below TC, which is compatible with the increasing suppression of spin-disorder dispersion related to ferromagnetic spin fluctuations. A thorough analysis of the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) shows that extrinsic skew-scattering contribution, which is associated to Fe-related disorder, dominates the anomalous Hall response. The systematic separation of intrinsic and extrinsic components reveals that, over a wide temperature range, the intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity scales linearly with the saturation magnetization, despite the substantial extrinsic dominant background. The linear behavior of intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity with magnetization is in line with a long wavelength spin-fluctuation framework, where thermal spin disorder lowers net magnetization without significantly altering the underlying electronic structure. These findings reveal Fe1/5CrTe2 as a newly investigated van der Waals ferromagnet where spin fluctuations and disorder coexist with a well-defined intrinsic Berry-curvature contribution to the Hall response.

Referee Report

2 major / 1 minor

Summary. The manuscript reports a magnetization and magneto-transport study of the van der Waals ferromagnet Fe_{1/5}CrTe_2, which exhibits a Curie temperature of 182 K. It finds quadratic temperature dependence of the saturation magnetization (indicating long-wavelength spin fluctuations), a dominant T^{3/2} term in the resistivity (signaling electron-localized spin coupling), linear non-saturating negative magnetoresistance, and—after phenomenological decomposition of the anomalous Hall resistivity—linear scaling of the intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity with saturation magnetization despite a dominant extrinsic skew-scattering background from Fe-related disorder. The linear intrinsic scaling is interpreted as consistent with a spin-fluctuation picture in which thermal disorder reduces net magnetization without substantially modifying the underlying electronic structure or Berry curvature.

Significance. If the decomposition of the anomalous Hall effect is robust, the work supplies a concrete experimental example of how long-wavelength spin fluctuations can coexist with a well-defined intrinsic Berry-curvature contribution in a diluted quasi-2D ferromagnet. This adds to the limited body of data on topological transport in materials where both disorder and fluctuations are prominent, and may help constrain theoretical models of anomalous Hall conductivity under strong thermal spin disorder.

major comments (2)
  1. [Anomalous Hall effect analysis] In the anomalous Hall effect analysis, the separation into intrinsic and extrinsic channels uses the standard form ρ_AH ≈ a ρ_xx + b ρ_xx² (with b ∝ σ_int). The reported dominant T^{3/2} resistivity term arising from spin fluctuations implies temperature-dependent scattering that can violate the assumption that the skew-scattering coefficient a is temperature-independent or follows a simple parametrization over the full range below T_C = 182 K. Any misattribution of fluctuation-induced resistivity changes to the intrinsic channel would artifactually produce the claimed linear σ_int(M_s) relation; this assumption is load-bearing for the central claim.
  2. [Magnetization and resistivity sections] The text states that the saturated magnetization follows a quadratic temperature dependence and that resistivity is dominated by a T^{3/2} term, yet supplies neither the explicit fitting functions, error bars on the extracted coefficients, nor the raw data or supplementary figures that would allow independent verification of these scalings or of the subsequent AHE decomposition. Without these, the reliability of the extracted linear intrinsic AHC versus M_s trend cannot be assessed.
minor comments (1)
  1. [Magnetoresistance discussion] The discussion of the linear, non-saturating magnetoresistance could be strengthened by a brief quantitative comparison to the expected suppression of spin-disorder scattering within the same long-wavelength fluctuation model used for the AHE.

  1. Referee: In the anomalous Hall effect analysis, the separation into intrinsic and extrinsic channels uses the standard form ρ_AH ≈ a ρ_xx + b ρ_xx² (with b ∝ σ_int). The reported dominant T^{3/2} resistivity term arising from spin fluctuations implies temperature-dependent scattering that can violate the assumption that the skew-scattering coefficient a is temperature-independent or follows a simple parametrization over the full range below T_C = 182 K. Any misattribution of fluctuation-induced resistivity changes to the intrinsic channel would artifactually produce the claimed linear σ_int(M_s) relation; this assumption is load-bearing for the central claim.

    Authors: We agree that the temperature dependence of scattering requires careful consideration. The decomposition follows the standard phenomenological form used in the literature for separating skew-scattering (a) and intrinsic (b) contributions. The T^{3/2} resistivity term is included directly in the measured ρ_xx values fed into the fit at each temperature. While a is treated as approximately constant (a common approximation when the dominant scattering mechanism does not change character), we acknowledge that a fully temperature-dependent a could in principle affect the extracted b. In the revised manuscript we will add an explicit discussion of this assumption, including a sensitivity analysis showing that the linear σ_int(M_s) trend remains robust under modest variations of a(T). We do not believe the observed linearity is an artifact, as the intrinsic channel is extracted after subtracting the skew term and still tracks M_s linearly over a wide range. revision: partial

  2. Referee: The text states that the saturated magnetization follows a quadratic temperature dependence and that resistivity is dominated by a T^{3/2} term, yet supplies neither the explicit fitting functions, error bars on the extracted coefficients, nor the raw data or supplementary figures that would allow independent verification of these scalings or of the subsequent AHE decomposition. Without these, the reliability of the extracted linear intrinsic AHC versus M_s trend cannot be assessed.

    Authors: We accept this criticism. The original submission omitted the explicit functional forms, coefficient uncertainties, and supporting figures. In the revised version we will add the fitting expressions (M_s(T) = M_0 (1 - α T^2) and ρ_xx(T) = ρ_0 + β T^{3/2} + γ T^2) together with the fitted coefficients and their uncertainties. We will also include supplementary figures displaying the raw magnetization and resistivity data, the quality of the fits, and the step-by-step AHE decomposition at representative temperatures so that readers can independently verify the scalings and the resulting σ_int(M_s) relation. revision: yes

full rationale

The paper reports experimental measurements of magnetization, resistivity, MR, and AHE in Fe1/5CrTe2, then applies standard phenomenological decomposition of ρ_AH into skew-scattering (extrinsic) and quadratic (intrinsic) terms to extract σ_int(T). The observed linear σ_int(M_s) relation is presented as an empirical finding consistent with a spin-fluctuation picture, not as a first-principles derivation or prediction. No equations reduce to their inputs by construction, no load-bearing self-citations appear, and the central claim remains an independent observation from data rather than a fitted tautology. The analysis is therefore self-contained.
