Abstract

Kagome antiferromagnetic semimetals such as Mn 3 Sn have attracted extensive attention for their potential application in antiferromagnetic spintronics. Realizing high manipulation of kagome antiferromagnetic spin states at room temperature can reveal rich emergent phenomena resulting from the quantum interactions between topology, spin, and correlation. Here, we achieved tunable spin textures of Mn 3 Sn through symmetry design by controlling alternate Mn 3 Sn and heavy-metal Pt thicknesses. The various topological spin textures were predicted with theoretical simulations, and the skyrmion-induced topological Hall effect, strong spin-dependent scattering, and vertical gradient of spin states were obtained by magnetotransport and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy measurements in Mn 3 Sn/Pt heterostructures. Our work provides an effective strategy for the innovative design of topological antiferromagnetic spintronic devices.
