Unusual magnetic and charge transport properties in In-Substituted Half-Metallic Kagome Ferromagnet Co3Sn2S2

Replacing divalent Sn with trivalent In in the kagome ferromagnet Co3Sn2S2 to form Co3SnInS2 suppresses its long-range ferromagnetism and topological transport features, driving the system from a half-metallic state into a semiconducting state with predominantly antiferromagnetic correlations and a significantly reduced anomalous Hall effect.
