Title: Canted Eu magnetic structure in EuMnSb₂

Abstract

Magnetic ordering breaks the time-reversal symmetry, greatly impacting material topological properties. Here, we report the investigation of the magnetic properties of the layered EuMnSb₂, which has two sets of magnetic sublattices. Both the magnetization and electrical resistivity reveal two phase transitions with one at T_N,Eu~21K and the other at T_N,Mn~346K. Single crystal neutron diffraction refinement indicates that both transitions are originated from magnetic ordering. Below T_N,Mn, the Mn sublattice forms the C-type antiferromagnetic (AFM) structure with moments [(4.5±0.6)μB at 7 K] pointing along the a axis. Below T_N,Eu, the Eu sublattice forms the canted A-type AFM structure with moments [(5.9±0.8)μB at 7 K] lying in the ac plane but pointing (41 ± 1)° away from the a axis. Quantitative analysis indicates that the spin-spin correlation length, while anisotropic, has long-range characteristic in all directions for both the Eu and Mn sublattices.

Canted antiferromagnetic phases in the candidate layered Weyl material EuMnSb 2

Journal Article Wilde, J. M. ; Riberolles, S. X. M. ; Das, Atreyee ; ... - Physical Review. B

EuMnSb₂ is a candidate topological material which can be tuned towards a Weyl semimetal, but there are differing reports for its antiferromagnetic (AFM) phases. The coupling of bands dominated by pure Sb layers hosting topological fermions to Mn and Eu magnetic states provides a potential path to tune the topological properties. In this study we present single-crystal neutron diffraction, magnetization, and heat-capacity data as well as polycrystalline ¹⁵¹Eu Mössbauer data which show that three AFM phases exist as a function of temperature, and we present a detailed analysis of the magnetic structure in each phase. The Mn magnetic sublattice orders into a C-type AFM structure below T_{N_Mn}= 323 (1) K with the ordered Mn magnetic moment μ_Mn lying perpendicular to the layers. AFM ordering of the Eu sublattice occurs below T_{N_Eu1}= 23 (1) K with the ordered Eu magnetic moment μ_Eu canted away from the layer normal and μ_Mn retaining its higher temperature order. μ_Eu is ferromagnetically aligned within each Eu layer but exhibits a complicated AFM layer stacking. Both of these higher-temperature phases are described by magnetic space group (MSG)more »« less

Spin reorientation and Ce-Mn coupling in antiferromagnetic oxypnictide CeMnAsO

Journal Article Zhang, Qiang ; Tian, Wei ; Peterson, Spencer G. ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

In this paper, we investigate the structure and magnetic properties of high-quality polycrystalline CeMnAsO, a parent compound of the “1111”-type oxypnictides using neutron powder diffraction and magnetization measurements. We find that CeMnAsO undergoes a C-type antiferromagnetic order with Mn²⁺(S=5/2) moments pointing along the c axis below a relatively high Néel temperature of T_N=347(1) K. Below T_SR=35 K, two simultaneous transitions occur where the Mn moments reorient from the c axis to the ab plane preserving the C-type magnetic order, and Ce moments undergo long-range AFM ordering with antiparallel moments pointing in the ab plane. Another transition to a noncollinear magneticmore »« less

NaCo₂(SeO₃)₂(OH): competing magnetic ground states of a new sawtooth structure with 3d⁷ Co²⁺ ions

Journal Article Sanjeewa, Liurukara D. ; Garlea, Vasile O. ; Taddei, Keith ; ... - Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers (Online)

While certain magnetic sublattices have long been known theoretically to give rise to emergent physics via competing magnetic interactions and quantum effects, finding such configurations in real materials is often deeply challenging. Here we report the synthesis and characterization of a new such material, NaCo₂(SeO₃)₂(OH) which crystallizes with a highly frustrated sublattice of sawtooth Co²⁺ chains. Single crystals of NaCo₂(SeO₃)₂(OH) were synthesized using a low-temperature hydrothermal method. X-ray single crystal structure analysis reveals that the material crystallizes in orthorhombic space group of Pnma (no. 62). Its crystal structure exhibits one-dimensional chains of corner-sharing isosceles triangles that are made of twomore »« less
