Description
Summary:Cr_{1/3}NbS_{2} is a transition metal dichalcogenide that has been of significant interest due to its ability to host a magnetic chiral soliton lattice. Conventional and planar Hall measurements provide valuable insight into the detection of exotic spin structures in chiral magnets. We show that the presence of a giant planar Hall effect (PHE) can be attributed to a tilted soliton lattice in Cr_{1/3}NbS_{2}. Our detailed angular-dependent study shows the PHE and anisotropic magnetoresistance are intrinsically linked in complex noncoplanar magnets. From the conventional Hall signal we show the presence of a giant unconventional, likely topological Hall component that is the fingerprint of noncoplanar spin textures.
