摘要:

拓扑电子结构和磁性之间的相互作用可能导致复杂的物理学。在这项工作中,我们描述了一个情况下,而奇特的共存或竞争的几个磁相下面的一个看似单一的反铁磁过渡LnSbTe(Ln = Ho和Tb)拓扑半金属,磁性成员的ZrSiS/PbFCl结构类型(空间群P4/nmm)。中子衍射实验揭示了TN = 3.8 K(Ln = Ho)和TN = 6.4 K(Ln = Tb)以下复杂的多阶有序。两种化合物的磁相可用四个传播矢量来描述:在1.7K的基础温度下,k1 =(1/200)和k2 =(1/201/4),在升高的温度下,它们转变为无公度矢量k1' =(1/2- d 00),k3 =(1/2 - d 01/2)。再加上磁结构的精细模型,我们提出了建议的解决方案的磁对称性的群论分析。这些结果促使人们进一步研究这些半金属的电子结构与其中存在的确定的反铁磁有序之间的关系。

英文摘要:

The interplay between topological electronic structure and magnetism may result in intricate physics. In this work, we describe a case of rather peculiar coexistence or competition of several magnetic phases below a seemingly single antiferromagnetic transition in LnSbTe (Ln = Ho and Tb) topological semimetals, the magnetic members of the ZrSiS/PbFCl structure type (space group P4/nmm). Neutron diffraction experiments reveal a complex multi-step order below TN = 3.8 K (Ln = Ho) and TN = 6.4 K (Ln = Tb). Magnetic phases can be described using four propagation vectors: k1 = (1/2 0 0) and k2 = (1/2 0 1/4) at the base temperature of 1.7 K, which transform into incommensurate vectors k1' = (1/2 - d 0 0), k3 = (1/2 - d 0 1/2) at elevated temperatures in both compounds. Together with the refined models of magnetic structures, we present the group-theoretical analysis of the magnetic symmetry of the proposed solutions. These results prompt further investigations of the relation between the electronic structure of those semimetals and the determined antiferromagnetic ordering existing therein.
