Canted antiferromagnetic order in EuZn(2)As(2) single crystals

Compounds containing Eu show a vast range of unique physical properties due to the interplay of electronic and magnetic properties, which can lead to a nontrivial electronic topology combined with magnetic order. We report on the growth of trigonal ([Formula: see text] space group) EuZn(2)As(2) sing...

description Compounds containing Eu show a vast range of unique physical properties due to the interplay of electronic and magnetic properties, which can lead to a nontrivial electronic topology combined with magnetic order. We report on the growth of trigonal ([Formula: see text] space group) EuZn(2)As(2) single crystals and on the studies of their structural, electronic and magnetic properties. A range of experimental techniques was applied including X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, heat capacity and Mössbauer spectroscopy in the study. We found that Eu has solely a 2+ valence state and its magnetic moments below T(N) = 19.2 K form a canted antiferromagnetic structure, tilted from the basal plane.
