Bulk quantum Hall effect of spin-valley coupled Dirac fermions in the polar antiferromagnet BaMnSb2

Unconventional features of relativistic Dirac/Weyl quasiparticles in topological materials are most evidently manifested in the two-dimensional quantum Hall effect (QHE), whose variety is further enriched by their spin and/or valley polarization. Although its extension to three dimensions has been long sought and inspired theoretical proposals, material candidates have been lacking. Here, we have discovered valley-contrasting spin-polarized Dirac fermions in a multilayer form in the bulk antiferromagnet BaMnSb2, where out-of-plane Zeeman-type spin splitting is induced by in-plane inversion symmetry breaking and spin-orbit coupling in the distorted Sb square net. Furthermore, we have observed well-defined quantized Hall plateaus together with vanishing interlayer conductivity at low temperatures as a hallmark of the half-integer QHE in a bulk form. The Hall conductance of each layer is found to be nearly quantized to 2(N+1/2)e2/h, with N being the Landau index, which is consistent with two spin-polarized Dirac valleys protected by the strong spin-valley coupling.
