Abstract
We experimentally reveal an unconventional anomalous Hall effect (UAHE) in a quasi-two-dimensional triangular-lattice antiferromagnet . Using high quality single crystals of , we found that the Hall resistivity deviates from the conventional behavior below , noticeably lower than , at which () spins order in a 120° structure. In view of the theoretical expectation that the spin chirality cancels out in the simplest 120° spin structure, we discuss required conditions for the emergence of UAHE within Berry-phase mechanisms.
