The coexistence of ferromagnetism and topology has recently attracted intense interest. Here, the thickness dependence of magnetisation and anomalous Hall conductivity is investigated in Co3Sn2S2 thin films, revealing a critical thickness of 10 nm for the emergence of the magnetic Weyl semimetal phase.
