Large anomalous Hall effect and $\mathit{\text{A}}$-phase in hexagonal polar magnet Gd${}_3$Ni${}_8$Sn${}_4$

While recent theoretical studies have positioned noncollinear polar magnets with $C_{nv}$ symmetry as compelling candidates for realizing topological magnetic phases and substantial intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity, experimental realizations of the same in strongly correlated systems remain rare. Here, we present a large intrinsic anomalous Hall effect and extended topological magnetic ordering in Gd${}_3$Ni${}_8$Sn${}_4$ with hexagonal $C_{6v}$ symmetry. Observation of topological Hall response, corroborated by metamagnetic anomalies in isothermal magnetization, peak/hump features in field-evolution of ac susceptibility and longitudinal resistivity, attests to the stabilization of skyrmion $A$-phase. The anomalous Hall effect is quantitatively accounted for by the intrinsic Berry curvature-mediated mechanism. Our results underscore polar magnets as a promising platform to investigate a plethora of emergent electrodynamic responses rooted in the interplay between magnetism and topology.
