Description

As a kagome Weyl semimetal with a high Néel temperature, Mn3Ga has attracted interest due to its large anomalous Hall and topological transport properties. We performed angle-dependent magnetoresistance measurements on the Mn3Ga thin films and observed a distinct anomaly in the temperature evolution and angular dependence of the resistivity. The change in the angular profile indicates a modification of the electronic anisotropy, consistent with a hexagonal-to-orthorhombic structural transition expected for this material system, suggesting a strong coupling between lattice distortion and electronic properties.
