Chromium-intercalated Cr1/3TaS2 is well known for hosting a nontrivial chiral magnetic soliton lattice (CSL) with the reported highest Curie temperature ( K) and strongest spin–orbit coupling, which has significant applications in gigahertz and high-speed spintronic devices. Herein, we thoroughly investigate the magneto-electrical transport properties of Cr1/3TaS2 single crystals. For , our magnetoresistance (MR) measurements reveal distinctive step-like behaviors, which are attributed to the formation and annihilation of chiral magnetic solitons. When under an oblique field, similar but weaker MR behaviors are observed compared to , indicating the appearance of an inclination-field-induced tilted-CSL. A topological Hall effect is observed under an oblique field, which is suggested to be induced by a nonzero topological charge density resulting from the tilted chiral states. The Cr1/3TaS2 offers an intriguing platform for studying the impact of chiral magnetic structures on magneto-electrical properties, which holds promise for both future spintronic device applications and fundamental investigation.
