摘要:

EuSn_2As_2具有层状菱面体晶体结构,可作为本征反铁磁(AFM)拓扑绝缘体的候选材料。本文对高质量EuSn_2As_2单晶在平行和垂直于(00 l)面的磁场作用下的磁电阻和磁化强度进行了系统的测量。磁化率和纵向电阻率的扭折表明EuSn 2An 2在TN = 21 K时经历了AFM转变。在T = 2 K时,在相应的临界磁场下,样品的磁化强度出现了两个连续的平台,分别为~ 5.6 μB/Eu和~ 6.6 μB/Eu。结合负纵向MR和反常霍尔电阻,我们证明了随着磁场的增加,EuSn 2An 2经历了从AFM态到Hc处的倾斜铁磁(FM)态,再到Hs处的极化FM态的复杂磁转变.

英文摘要:

EuSn2As2 with layered rhombohedral crystal structure is proposed to be a candidate of intrinsic antiferromagnetic (AFM) topological insulator. Here, we have investigated systematic magnetoresistance (MR) and magnetization measurements on the high quality EuSn2As2 single crystal with the magnetic field both parallel and perpendicular to (00l) plane. Both the kink of magnetic susceptibility and longitudinal resistivity reveal that EuSn2An2 undergoes an AFM transition at TN = 21 K. At T = 2 K, the magnetization exhibits two successive plateaus of ~ 5.6 μB/Eu and ~ 6.6 μB/Eu at the corresponding critical magnetic fields. Combined with the negative longitudinal MR and abnormal Hall resistance, we demonstrate that EuSn2An2 undergoes complicated magnetic transitions from an AFM state to a canted ferromagnetic (FM) state at Hc and then to a polarized FM state at Hs as the magnetic field increase.
