abstract = {The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) and the magneto-optical
effect (MOE) are two prominent manifestations of
time-reversal symmetry breaking in magnetic materials.
Noncollinear antiferromagnets (AFMs) have recently attracted
a lot of attention owing to the potential emergence of
exotic spin orders on geometrically frustrated lattices,
which can be characterized by corresponding spin
chiralities. By performing first-principles density
functional calculations together with group-theory analysis
and tight-binding modeling, here we systematically study the
spin-order dependent AHE and MOE in representative
noncollinear AFMs Mn3XN(X=Ga, Zn, Ag, and Ni). The
symmetry-related tensor shape of the intrinsic anomalous
Hall conductivity (IAHC) for different spin orders is
determined by analyzing the relevant magnetic point groups.
We show that while only the xy component of the IAHC tensor
is nonzero for right-handed spin chirality, all other
elements—σxy,σyz, and σzx—are nonvanishing for a
state with left-handed spin chirality owing to lowering of
the symmetry. Our tight-binding arguments reveal that the
magnitude of IAHC relies on the details of the band
structure and that σxy is periodically modulated as the
spin rotates in-plane. The IAHC obtained from first
principles is found to be rather large, e.g., it amounts to
359 S/cm in Mn3AgN, which is comparable to other well-known
noncollinear AFMs such as Mn3Ir and Mn3Ge. We evaluate also
the magnetic anisotropy energy and find that the evolution
of spin order is related to the number of valence electrons
in the X ion. Interestingly, the left-handed spin chirality
could exist in Mn3XN with some particular spin
configurations. By extending our analysis to finite
frequencies, we calculate the optical isotropy
[σxx(ω)≈σyy(ω)≈σzz(ω)] and the magneto-optical
anisotropy [σxy(ω)≠σyz(ω)≠σzx(ω)] of Mn3XN.
Similar to the IAHC, the magneto-optical Kerr and Faraday
spectra depend strongly on the spin order. The Kerr rotation
angles in Mn3XN are in the range of 0.3∘∼0.4∘, which
is large and comparable to other noncollinear AFMs like
Mn3Pt and Mn3Sn. Our finding of large AHE and MOE in Mn3XN
suggests that these materials present an excellent
antiferromagnetic platform for realizing novel spintronics
and magneto-optical devices. We argue that the spin-order
dependent AHE and MOE are indispensable in detecting complex
spin structures in noncollinear AFMs.},
