abstract = {In recently emerging correlated topological materials, such
as magnetic Dirac/Weyl semimetals, additional tunabilities
of their transport and magnetic properties may be achieved
by utilizing possible interaction between the exotic
relativistic fermions and magnetic degree of freedom. The
two-dimensional antiferromagnetic (AFM) Dirac semimetal
EuMnBi2, in which an intricate interplay between multiple
magnetic sublattices and Dirac fermions was suggested,
provides an ideal platform to test this scenario. We report
here a comprehensive study of the AFM structures of the Eu
and Mn magnetic sublattices as well as the interplay between
Eu and Mn magnetism in this compound by using both polarized
and nonpolarized single-crystal neutron diffraction.
Magnetic susceptibility, specific heat capacity
measurements, and the temperature dependence of magnetic
diffractions suggest that the AFM ordering temperatures of
the Eu and Mn moments are at 22 and 337 K, respectively. The
magnetic moments of both Eu and Mn ions are oriented along
the crystallographic c axis, and the respective magnetic
propagation vectors are kEu=(0,0,1) and kMn=(0,0,0). With
proper neutron absorption correction, the ordered moments
are refined at 3 K as 7.7(1) and 4.1(1) μB for the Eu and
Mn ions, respectively. In addition, a spin-flop (SF) phase
transition of the Eu moments in an applied magnetic field
along the c axis was confirmed to take place at a critical
field of Hc≈ 5.3 T. The AFM exchange interaction and
magnetic anisotropy parameters (J=0.81 meV, Ku=0.18 meV,
Ke=−0.11 meV) are determined based on a subsequent
quantitative analysis of the SF transition. The evolution of
the Eu magnetic moment direction as a function of the
applied magnetic field in the SF phase was also determined.
Clear kinks in both field and temperature dependences of the
magnetic reflections (±1, 0, 1) of Mn were observed at the
onset of the SF phase transition and the AFM order of the Eu
moments, respectively. This unambiguously indicates the
existence of a strong coupling between Eu and Mn magnetism.
The interplay between two magnetic sublattices could bring
new possibilities to tune Dirac fermions via changing
magnetic structures by applied fields in this class of
magnetic topological semimetals.},
