摘要/Abstract

摘要： Single crystals of CeMn$_{0.85}$Sb$_{2}$ have been successfully synthesized by using the Bi as flux. Analysis of single crystal x-ray diffraction data confirms that CeMn$_{0.85}$Sb$_{2}$ crystallizes in the HfCuSi$_{2}$-type structure with the space group $P4/nmm$ (No. 129). In the case of $H\parallel c$, CeMn$_{0.85}$Sb$_{2}$ displays a robust antiferromagnetic transition at $\sim 160 $ K for Mn-sublattice, and there is no sign of magnetic order regarding Ce-sublattice. In the case of $H\bot c$, the Mn-sublattice shows signs of magnetic order at 160 K and 116 K, indicating a possible spin reorientation. There is no sign of magnetic order for the Ce-sublattice either, but, alternating current magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal a spin glass state below 18 K in the case of $H\bot c$. Isothermal magnetization curves measured below magnetic order with $H\bot c$ show saturation and even large hysteresis at 2 K, indicating the presence of a ferromagnetic component. In addition, a field-induced spin-flop transition is observed in the case of $H\bot c$, indicating a field-induced spin reorientation of Mn spins. Electrical resistivity measurements indicate a metallic nature for CeMn$_{0.85}$Sb$_{2}$ and large anisotropy which is consistent with its quasi-two-dimensional layered structure.
