CeAlGe crystalises in tetragonal structure I41md, where the spatial-inversion symmetry is broken, and is expected to exhibit Weyl fermions near a Fermi surface that becomes more stable by broken time-reversal symmetry. CeAlGe grown by the flux method, off-stoichiometric case, exhibits a commensurate antiferromagnetic order below T = 5.1 K, whereas the crystal grown by floating-zone methods with 30 bar of Ar gas (p=30 bar), stoichiometric case, exhibits an incommensurate order below T = 4.4 K in which topological Hall effects are induced by external magnetic fields applied in the c-axis. In this presentation, we show the newly synthesised CeAlGe using the same floating-zone method but with lower Ar pressure of p=5 bar. Our neutron diffraction and electrical Hall transport experiments revealed that the topological magnetism remains with shorter periodicity. Given all experimental results of flux-grown and two floating-zone-grown CeAlGe, we will discuss the mechanism of topological magnetism with respect to the Kondo coupling strength.
