Abstract 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.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
