This invention discloses a large-size, high-quality magnetic Weyl half-
metal Co3Sn2S2
single crystal and its preparation method. The
single crystal has a
diameter greater than 1 cm and a length greater than 5 cm, exhibiting high quality, a complete and crack-free appearance, and a
smooth surface. X-
ray rocking curve analysis confirmed its high quality. l The
full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the
diffraction peaks is only 0.02°. Furthermore, this
crystal exhibits
ferromagnetism and a
Curie temperature of [missing value]. T c =174 K, exhibiting a significant anomalous
Hall effect: the maximum anomalous Hall
conductivity is approximately 1250 S / cm, and the anomalous Hall angle is 25%. The preparation method includes controlling the
molar ratio of raw materials to synthesize polycrystalline raw materials through a high-temperature
solid-state reaction; further, using a modified Bridgman process, optimizing the
temperature gradient, controlling the growth rate, rotation rate, and vacuum sealing environment, ultimately preparing a Co3Sn2S2
single crystal. The Co3Sn2S2 single
crystal of this invention can be used in novel low-power spintronic devices, topological thermoelectric devices, etc., providing a key material foundation for the practical research of magnetic Weyl half-metals.
