Fig. 3: Magnetization and anomalous Hall effect.

a Magnetization as a function of the magnetic field applied along the [0001] crystal direction at different temperatures. The inset highlights a vanishingly small remanent magnetization within error of 5 mμB/u.c. The plot shows the total magnetization of the measured sample, i.e., also including the substrate. The inset also shows the total measured magnetization. However, when recalculating from A/m to mμB/u.c., we considered that the remanent signal at zero field is due to the Mn5Si3 film alone and has no contribution from the Si substrate (we also considered the same for the small field range around zero plotted in the inset). b Field and temperature dependent anomalous Hall resistivity. The ordinary Hall effect, which is linear in the applied magnetic field, was subtracted (see text). c Decomposition of the anomalous Hall resistivity measured at 50 K into a topological Hall component \({\rho }_{{{{{{{{\rm{H}}}}}}}}}^{{{{{{{{\rm{T}}}}}}}}}\), and a component ascribed to the unconventional d-wave magnetism, \({\rho }_{{{{{{{{\rm{H}}}}}}}}}^{{{{{{{{\rm{U}}}}}}}}}\) (see Methods and Supplementary Fig. 4).). d The decomposition of the spontaneous (zero-field) anomalous Hall resistivity as a function of temperature. e Spontaneous anomalous Hall conductivity corresponding to the component ascribed to the unconventional d-wave magnetism.
