Abstract
The magnetic structure of a magnetic topological semimetal EuMnSb2 is investigated in fields up to 30 T using polarized and unpolarized neutron diffraction, pulsed-field x-ray magnetic circular dichroism and pulsed-field magnetometry. We determine the zero-field magnetic structures of the Eu and Mn sublattices, and find that magnetic transitions induced by applied fields below 2 T correspond to changes in the magnetic order of the Eu spins alone without detectable perturbation to the order of the Mn spins. An additional magnetic transition is observed at fields close to the saturation field for the Eu spins. We present a mean-field model which describes key features of the magnetic behavior and allows us to estimate the dominant Eu--Eu and Eu--Mn exchange interactions responsible for the coupling between magnetism and electronic topology.
