| contents | Anomalous Hall effect (AHE) plays important role in the rapidly developing field of antiferromagnetic spintronics. It has been recently discussed that it can be a feature of not only uncompensated magnetic systems but also in altermagnetic materials. Hexagonal MnTe belongs to this appealing group of compounds exhibiting AHE and is commonly perceived as magnetically compensated. Here, we demonstrate that bulk form of MnTe exhibits small but detectable magnetic moment correlating with hysteretic behaviour of the AHE. We formulate a phenomenological model which explains how this feature allows to create a disbalance between states with opposite Néel vector and prevent the AHE signal from averaging out to zero. Moreover, we show how the dependence of AHE on the Néel vector arises on microscopical level and highlight the differences in Berry curvature between magnetically compensated and uncompensated systems. |
