摘要
Thin films of Mn4N and related ternary metallic perovskites with perpendicular anisotropy are interesting for spintronics, but their magnetic structures differ from the triangular ferrimagnetism of the bulk. A temperature-independent anomalous Hall conductivity of -90 52-1 cm-1 was found in Mn4N films, in addition to the normal temperature-dependent contribution. Based on known spin structures of bulk Mn3ZN compounds and the distance dependence of the Mn-Mn exchange for first- and second-neighbor Mn-Mn pairs, we propose a topological noncollinear spin structure for the Mn4N films with perpendicular anisotropy. The Letter shows how a small change in symmetry of the spin structure can influence the magnetotransport properties of frustrated ferrimagnetic films.
