AbstractThe kagome ferromagnet, Co-based shandite Co₃Sn₂S₂, shows a large anomalous Hall effect (AHE) associated with the Weyl nodes. A thin film with a Co kagome monolayer was predicted to exhibit the quantum AHE, which awaits the experimental realisation. However, it is challenging to precisely predict how the Weyl nodes reside in thin films where the lattice and electronic structures are in general different from the bulk. Here we report comprehensive ab initio results for thin films of Co₃Sn₂S₂ with one, two and three Co layers with Sn or S surface terminations. We find that all the Sn-end films stabilise a ferromagnetic state similar to the bulk, and retain the large AHE down to the monolayer limit where the AHE is quantised, while the magnetic and topological properties drastically change with the number of Co layers in the S-end films. Our results would stimulate further experimental exploration of thin Weyl materials.
