Abstract

Realization of noncentrosymmetric magnetic Weyl metals is expected to exhibit anomalous transport properties stemming from the interplay of unusual bulk electronic topology and magnetism. Here, we present spin-valve-like magnetoresistance at room temperature in ferrimagneticWeyl metal Mn$_2$PdSn that crystallizes in the inverse Heusler structure. Anomalous magnetoresistance display dominant asymmetric component attributed to domain wall electron scattering, indicative of spin-valve-like behavior. Ab initio calculations confirm the topologically non-trivial nature of the band structure, with three pairs of Weyl nodes proximate to the Fermi level, providing deeper insights into the observed intrinsic Berry curvature mediated substantial anomalous Hall conductivity. Our results underscore the inverse Heusler compounds as promising platform to realize magnetic Weyl metals/semimetals and leverage emergent transport properties for electronic functionalities.
