Abstract

In the ferromagnetic Weyl semimetal CeAlSi both space-inversion and time-reversal symmetries are broken. We use external pressure as an effective tuning parameter and relate three observations to the presence of a nontrivial topology in its ferromagnetic regime: an exceptional temperature response of the quantum oscillations amplitude, the presence of an anomalous Hall effect (AHE), and the existence of an unusual loop Hall effect (LHE). We find a suppression of the AHE and the LHE with increasing pressure, while the Curie temperature is enhanced. The magnetic structure and the electronic bands exhibit only a negligible pressure effect suggesting the importance of the domain wall landscape for the topological behavior in CeAlSi.
