Abstract

Magnetic Weyl semimetals attract considerable interest not only for their topological quantum phenomena but also as an emerging materials class for realizing quantum anomalous Hall effect in the two-dimensional limit. A shandite compound Co <subscript>3</subscript> Sn <subscript>2</subscript> S <subscript>2</subscript> with layered kagome-lattices is one such material, where vigorous efforts have been devoted to synthesize the two-dimensional crystal. Here, we report a synthesis of Co <subscript>3</subscript> Sn <subscript>2</subscript> S <subscript>2</subscript> thin flakes with a thickness of 250 nm by chemical vapor transport method. We find that this facile bottom-up approach allows the formation of large-sized Co <subscript>3</subscript> Sn <subscript>2</subscript> S <subscript>2</subscript> thin flakes of high-quality, where we identify the largest electron mobility (∼2600 cm <superscript>2</superscript> V <superscript>-1</superscript> s <superscript>-1</superscript> ) among magnetic topological semimetals, as well as the large anomalous Hall conductivity (∼1400 Ω <superscript>-1</superscript> cm <superscript>-1</superscript> ) and anomalous Hall angle (∼32%) arising from the Berry curvature. Our study provides a viable platform for studying high-quality thin flakes of magnetic Weyl semimetal and stimulate further research on unexplored topological phenomena in the two-dimensional limit.
