摘要: We report the magnetic and transport properties of EuBi$_2$ single crystal. EuBi$_2$ exhibits complex magnetic behavior at low temperatures. In both the in-plane and out-of-plane directions, three antiferromagnetic (AFM) transitions have been observed at $T_{{\rm N1}}$ $\sim$ 18.9 K, $T_{{\rm N2}} \sim 7.0 $ K, and $T_{{\rm N3}} \sim 3.1 $ K. Among them, the transitions at $T_{{\rm N2}}$ and $T_{{\rm N3}}$ represent the canted AFM orders with ferromagnetic components. As the magnetic field increases, the transition at $T_{{\rm N3}}$ is rapidly suppressed to disappearance. However, the transitions at $T_{{\rm N1}}$ and $T_{{\rm N2}}$ persist until high fields and their signatures can also be reflected in the resistivity and specific heat. Above the magnetic transition temperature $T_{{\rm N1}}$, the resistivity of EuBi$_2$ increases linearly with temperature, exhibiting the strange-metal behavior. In the magnetically ordered region below $T_{{\rm N1}}$, EuBi$_2$ exhibits the weak antilocalization (WAL) effect and large magnetoresistance (475% at 1.8 K and 14 T). It is suggested that the magnetic ordering significantly enhances the spin-orbital coupling interaction and induces the WAL effect.
