This is a Journal Club Series lecture concerning paper [4].

The common notion that the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is propor- tional to magnetisation M suggests that antiferromagnets with M = 0 should exhibit no AHE. Despite this intuition, when certain symmetries are broken, AHE was still predicted [1] to appear in multi-sublattice antiferromagnets with M = 0 (such as IrMn₃ [2] or Mn₃Sn [3]). Re- cently, this prediction has been confirmed experimentally [4] and the magnitude of AHE was even found [5,6] to exceed that of ordinary ferromagnetic metals.
