ac μ0H-dependent σxy and σxx for three 7-SL devices exfoliated from the same crystal. Devices #11 and #16 were obtained simultaneously in one cleaving process on the same substrate, with the former one undergoing an extra AlOx deposition process, having a thickness of 33 nm. df Evolution of σxy with σxx during the cooling process. With the formation of AFM order as lowering Ts, the scaling relation between σxy and σxx at different Vgs gradually collapses into one single curve, and σxy saturates at e2/h. The σxx independent behavior reflects the typical Berry curvature-dominated mechanism of the AH effect. g Schematics of the distribution of Berry curvature. From top to bottom, as the AFM order is tuned to the FM order, the out-of-plane component of the total magnetization is enhanced. As a result, the exchange gap increases, and the Berry curvature exhibits greater robustness against thermal fluctuations.
