Spin-polarized electron transport for the altermagnet CrSb
The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
Core claim
In single-crystal CrSb flakes, spin-polarized injection from nickel contacts produces a first-harmonic anomalous Hall voltage with bow-tie hysteresis and an orientation-dependent sign of the Hall slope, together with a second-harmonic nonlinear Hall voltage that is likewise hysteretic; both responses are absent for gold contacts. The authors attribute these signals to the interplay of alternating bulk altermagnetic spin splitting and spin-polarized topological surface states, implying a finite Berry curvature dipole under spin injection.
What carries the argument
Spin-polarized current injection from ferromagnetic Ni contacts into CrSb, which generates charge imbalance between counter-propagating topological surface states and couples them to the bulk altermagnetic spin texture, thereby activating both the anomalous Hall response and a Berry-curvature-dipole nonlinear Hall response.
Load-bearing premise
The macroscopic Hall voltages (measured across tens of micrometers) come from spin-polarized topological surface states of CrSb rather than from local remagnetization or spin accumulation confined near the nickel contacts.
What would settle it
A control experiment that maps the Hall voltage versus contact separation or that independently measures the spin-injection length in these flakes; if the anomalous and nonlinear signals collapse to the contact vicinity rather than remaining finite at 20–80 µm, the surface-state interpretation fails.
If this is right
- Transport detection of altermagnetic and topological character in CrSb requires deliberate spin injection and cannot be read from ordinary gold-contact Hall measurements.
- The sign of the anomalous Hall slope on a single crystal becomes a directional probe of the bulk altermagnetic spin texture once carriers are spin polarized.
- A hysteretic second-harmonic Hall voltage under spin injection can be used as a practical indicator of Berry curvature dipole in centrosymmetric altermagnets.
- Room-temperature Néel ordering of CrSb makes the same contact geometry a candidate platform for spintronic devices that exploit surface-bulk coupling.
Where Pith is reading between the lines
- If the surface-state interpretation is correct, similar spin-injection Hall protocols should work on other altermagnetic candidates that host topological surface bands, providing a rapid screening tool before ARPES.
- The orientation-dependent slope reversal suggests that patterned multi-terminal devices on a single flake could electrically map the crystallographic axes of the altermagnetic spin splitting.
- Because the nonlinear Hall signal tracks nickel remagnetization, the same geometry may allow electrical readout of contact magnetization without an external magnetometer.
Editorial analysis
A structured set of objections, weighed in public.
Referee Report
Summary. The manuscript reports first-harmonic anomalous Hall effect (AHE) and second-harmonic nonlinear Hall effect (NLHE) in thick single-crystal CrSb flakes contacted by ferromagnetic Ni leads. AHE appears as bow-tie hysteresis loops of width ~0.3 T whose slope reverses sign when the Hall-bar current orientation is rotated by 90° on the same flake; both AHE and NLHE are absent in otherwise identical devices with non-magnetic Au contacts. The authors attribute the orientation-dependent AHE and the field-hysteretic NLHE to the joint action of k-dependent bulk altermagnetic spin splitting and spin-polarized topological surface states that become charge-imbalanced under spin injection, thereby generating a finite Berry curvature dipole.
Significance. Observation of spin-injection-activated AHE and NLHE in the centrosymmetric, low-SOC altermagnet candidate CrSb would be a useful experimental benchmark for the interplay between altermagnetic bulk bands and topological surface states. The work supplies several clean experimental controls: null results with Au contacts, two orthogonal Hall geometries on the identical flake, V2ω_xy ≫ V2ω_xx, quadratic current dependence of the second harmonic, and comparable hysteresis widths for first and second harmonics. These elements make the raw transport phenomenology worth reporting even if the microscopic assignment remains provisional.
major comments (3)
- Discussion §IV asserts that the observed AHE (and by extension NLHE) is macroscopic (20–80 µm probe spacing) because topological surface states are protected, while canted-Néel AHE is dismissed as confined to a bulk spin-relaxation length near the Ni contacts. No independent measurement of spin-injection efficiency, spin-diffusion length, or surface-state contribution is provided for these flakes. Given that the Hall resistivity is only ~0.5 µΩ·cm, the hysteresis width matches typical Ni remagnetization, and both signals vanish for Au contacts, a local interface or contact-region origin remains equally consistent with the data. A length-scale control (e.g., variable probe spacing or thickness series) is required before the joint bulk-surface interpretation can be regarded as established.
- Fig. 2 and accompanying text claim that the sign inversion of the AHE slope between the two orthogonal current orientations on the same flake is diagnostic of k-dependent bulk altermagnetic magnetization. In a conventional Hall geometry the Lorentz (or anomalous) slope is fixed by carrier sign and B direction and should be independent of in-plane current rotation; the observed inversion is therefore interesting. However, the manuscript does not quantify possible geometric admixture, current-path asymmetry, or contact-resistance anisotropy that can appear when the current line is rotated 90° on a thick, irregularly shaped flake. Without such a control or a quantitative estimate of the expected altermagnetic anisotropy, the sign inversion cannot yet be taken as direct evidence of alternating bulk spin splitting.
- The absolute scale of the first-harmonic signal (maximum Hall resistance ~5 mΩ, voltages of order 10 nV after multi-curve averaging) is extremely small. While the Au-contact nulls and the reproducibility across samples are reassuring, the paper should explicitly address whether residual thermoelectric, inductive, or capacitive pick-up could survive the lock-in and averaging procedures at this level, especially given that the second-harmonic voltages are three orders of magnitude larger under mA excitation.
minor comments (4)
- Fig. 1(b) caption and main text should state the precise crystallographic orientation of the flake relative to the two Hall-bar axes; without it the claimed link to altermagnetic k-space anisotropy remains schematic.
- The longitudinal resistance is quoted as ~0.5 Ω but no corresponding Rxx(B) or magnetoresistance data are shown; a brief panel would help the reader judge homogeneity and possible current-path effects.
- Several sentences in the Introduction and Discussion contain awkward phrasing or missing articles (e.g., “the principle origin”, “we corfirm”); a careful language edit would improve readability.
- References to the group’s own prior transport papers on related materials are numerous; a few additional independent ARPES or theoretical citations on CrSb surface states would strengthen the topological claim.
Circularity Check
Experimental Hall signals are independent measurements; only the interpretive link of orientation-dependent AHE slope sign inversion to bulk altermagnetic magnetization rests on a same-group self-citation.

self citation load bearing
[Section IV (Discussion), paragraph on AHE sign inversion]
"For other directions, AHE is affected by periodic bulk altermagnetic magnetization 58, which leads to the direction-dependent sign of the AHE slope in Fig. 2. In this case, the bow-tie hysteresis loops in Fig. 2 is the result of interaction 55,56 between the bulk alternating spin splitting and the surface spin polarization from the topological surface states 43,44."
The central interpretive claim that the observed Hall-slope sign inversion (same flake, same B) arises from k-dependent bulk altermagnetic spin polarization is justified solely by citation 58, an arXiv preprint by the same authors. No independent measurement of that bulk magnetization texture is supplied in the present work; the citation therefore functions as an unverified premise that converts the raw sign-change observation into the “joint-effect” conclusion.
full rationale
The paper is an experimental transport study. The primary results (first-harmonic AHE with bow-tie hysteresis and slope sign change upon 90° Hall-bar rotation, second-harmonic NLHE quadratic in current and hysteretic in field, both present only with Ni contacts and absent with Au) are direct lock-in voltage measurements on the same flakes; they do not arise from any fitted parameter, self-defined quantity, or uniqueness theorem. No equation equates a claimed prediction to an input by construction. The sole mild circularity is interpretive: the Discussion attributes the unexpected sign inversion of the AHE slope (same carriers, same B direction) to “periodic bulk altermagnetic magnetization” via citation 58 (arXiv:2512.11344 by the identical author group). That citation is not independently re-verified here and is load-bearing for the “joint-effect” narrative, yet the raw observations remain self-contained against the Au-contact controls. Technique self-cites (contact fabrication, thermoelectric-exclusion geometry) are ordinary and non-load-bearing. Overall circularity is therefore low.
Axiom & Free-Parameter Ledger
axioms (5)
- domain assumption CrSb is a centrosymmetric altermagnet (P6₃/mmc) with alternating bulk spin splitting and negligible spin-orbit coupling, so ordinary bulk AHE and NLHE are symmetry-forbidden without spin injection.
- domain assumption CrSb hosts spin-polarized topological (Weyl) surface states that can carry dissipationless or protected surface transport over macroscopic contact separations.
- domain assumption Ferromagnetic Ni contacts inject spin-polarized carriers into CrSb while Au contacts do not, and the observed hysteresis width tracks Ni remagnetization.
- domain assumption The chosen Hall-bar contact geometry excludes thermoelectric admixture in second-harmonic measurements.
- ad hoc to paper Sign inversion of the Hall slope between two orthogonal current orientations on the same flake reflects k-dependent bulk altermagnetic magnetization rather than geometry or carrier-type change.
read the original abstract
We experimentally investigate spin-polarized electron transport for the centrosymmetric altermagnet CrSb, which is known to reveal both altermagnetic and topological features. We demonstrate pronounced first-harmonic anomalous and second-harmonic non-linear Hall effects for a single-crystal CrSb flake with ferromagnetic nickel contacts, while both effects can not be seen for the reference samples with non-magnetic gold ones. For the anomalous Hall effect, we demonstrate bow-tie hysteresis loop in Hall voltage, which is usually ascribed to surface spin textures in magnetic materials. The slope of the Hall curve changes a sign for two orientations of the Hall-bar contact configuration for the same sample, i.e. for the same sign of the charge carriers. We interpret the observed sign inversion and bow-tie hysteresis as the joint effect of the alternating bulk spin splitting and spin-polarized topological surface states in CrSb. The pronounced non-linear Hall effect with hysteresis in magnetic field confirms finite Berry curvature dipole under injection of spin-polarized electrons, i.e. the topological features for the altermagnetic candidate CrSb.
