Zusammenfassung: | We report a study of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in high quality single
crystals of ferromagnetic Weyl semimetal Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$. The Fermi surfaces
resolved in our experiments are three-dimensional and reflect an underlying
trigonal crystallographic symmetry. Combined with density functional
theoretical calculations, we identify that the majority of the Fermi surfaces
in the system -- of both electron and hole nature -- arise from the strong
energy dispersion of the (spin-orbit gapped) mirror-protected nodal rings. We
observe that an in-plane magnetic field induces a continuous evolution of Fermi
surfaces, 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
Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ -- including the Weyl points -- with the ferromagnetic moment
orientation. Through the case study of Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$, 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 topological systems. |
