We have investigated scaling of anomalous Hall resistivity with longitudinal resistivity (rho(xx)) in pyrochlore type Nd2(Mo(1-x)Nb(x))2O7 with spin chirality. Scattering rate of the conduction electron on the Mo sublattice can be varied with x from band transport to polaron hopping, while keeping the two-in-two-out structure of the Nd moments intact. The anomalous part of the Hall resistivity arising from the Mo spin chirality (rho(H)(chi)) shows a clear scaling behavior with rho(xx) (rho(H)(chi) proportional to rho(xx)0.39), in accord with a recent theoretical result based on the Berry phase mechanism in the hopping conduction regime.
我们研究了具有自旋手性的烧绿石型Nd2(Mo(1-x)Nb(x))2O7中反常霍尔电阻率与纵向电阻率(rho(xx))的标度关系。Mo亚晶格上传导电子的散射率可随x从能带输运变化到极化子跳跃,同时保持Nd磁矩的两进两出结构不变。由Mo自旋手性引起的霍尔电阻率的反常部分(rho(H)(chi))与rho(xx)呈现出明显的标度行为(rho(H)(chi)与rho(xx)^0.39成正比),这与最近基于跳跃传导机制中贝里相位机制的理论结果一致。
