Weyl semimetals are playing a major role in condensed matter physics due to exotic topological properties, and their coexistence with ferromagnetism may lead to enhanced spin-related phenomena. In this work, the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) in ferromagnetic Weyl-semimetal Heusler alloy Co₂MnGa was investigated at room temperature by means of electrical spin injection in lateral spin valve structures. The spin Hall angle was found to be as high as -19%, which is among the highest reported for a ferromagnet. Although this value is in the same order of magnitude of known heavy metals, the significantly higher resistivity of Co₂MnGa implies larger detection voltages. In addition, a breaking of Onsager reciprocal relation was systematically observed for the first time in this kind of transport phenomena, and an explanation considering different spin dependent Hall conductivity for spin-up and spin-down carriers is introduced.
