Traditional collinear antiferromagnets do not exhibit a spin polarization in the band structure. Therefore, the anomalous Hall and Nernst effect are forbidden in this materials. Recent theory developments predict a new class of magnetically ordered compensated materials with particular crystal and spin symmetries that break the time inversion symmetry in the reciprocal space [1,2]. One experimental demonstration are epitaxially grown Mn₅Si₃ films. In these samples with a (0001) film normal, we observe a robust anomalous Hall effect despite vanishing magnetization [3]. On this poster, we will discuss the magneto-thermal transport properties of this compound in more detail and the symmetry of measured signals.
