We systematically study the variation of magnetization and anomalous Hall effect in Mn3−xPtxGa thin films as function of the Pt content and temperature. Since Mn and Pt share a lattice site and Mn occupies two distinct sites with ferrimagnetic arrangement of the magnetic moments, the system can be driven to a magnetic compensation point [1]. At this point Mn3−xPtxGa can behave similar to the well known antiferromagnetic half Heusler CuMnAs with which is shares its symmetry. CuMnAs was recently found to have a switchable antiferromagnetic order by a charge current induced staggered Neel spin orbit torque [2]. We propose to use Mn3−xPtxGa near the compensation point as a model system to study this spin orbit torque. Here the non-zero magnetization can be used to orient the ferrimagnetic order by moderate magnetic field to prepare the system in a defined state. The current induced torque, (i.e. the variation of the magnetization,) is obtained by homodyne detection and its effect is mapped out for various magnetization orientations. [1] R. Sahoo et al., Adv.
