@article{WOS:000573773300002, abstract = {Co3Sn2S2 has recently emerged as a ferromagnetic Weyl semimetal. Theoretical investigation of the spin-split bands predicted half metallicity in the compound. Here, we report the detection of a spin-polarized supercurrent through a Nb/Co3Sn2S2 point contact where Andreev reflection is seen to be large, indicating a large deviation from half metallicity. In fact, analysis of the Andreev reflection spectra reveals very small spin polarization at different points with the degree of spin polarization ranging from 20% to 50% at the Fermi level of Co3Sn2S2. Our theoretical calculations of electronic density of states reveal a spin-depolarizing effect near the Fermi energy when the role of spin-orbit coupling is included. The inclusion of spin-orbit coupling also reveals particle-hole asymmetry that explains a large asymmetry observed in our experimental Andreev reflection spectra.}, article-number = {104434}, author = {Howlader, Sandeep and Saha, Surabhi and Kumar, Ritesh and Nagpal, Vipin and Patnaik, Satyabrata and Das, Tanmoy and Sheet, Goutam}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevB.102.104434}, eissn = {2469-9969}, issn = {2469-9950}, journal = {PHYSICAL REVIEW B}, month = {SEP 30}, number = {10}, orcid-numbers = {Patnaik, Prof. Satyabrata/0000-0003-4984-9243}, title = {Strong spin depolarization in the ferromagnetic Weyl semimetal Co3Sn2S2: Role of spin-orbit coupling}, unique-id = {WOS:000573773300002}, volume = {102}, year = {2020} }
