摘要

We report a study of Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations in high-quality single crystals of ferromagnetic Weyl semimetal Co3Sn2S2. The Fermi surfaces resolved in our experiments are three-dimensional and reflect an underlying trigonal crystallographic symmetry. Combined with density functional calculations, we identify that multiple Fermi surfaces in the system—of both electron and hole nature—arise from the energy dispersion of the (spin-orbit gapped) mirror-protected nodal rings. We observe an evolution of the Fermi surfaces with in-plane magnetic fields, in contrast to field perpendicular to the kagome lattice planes, which has little effect. Viewed alongside the easy-axis anisotropy of the system, our observation reveals an evolution of the electronic structure of Co3Sn2S2—including the Weyl points—with the ferromagnetic moment orientation. Through the case study of Co3Sn2S2, our results provide concrete experimental evidence of an anisotropic interplay via spin-orbit coupling between the magnetic degrees of freedom and electronic band singularities, which has long been expected in semimetallic and metallic magnetic systems.
