What is the high-field magnetic structure of Mn3Sn?
Hexagonal Mn3Sn displays a large Anomalous Hall Effect (AHE) at room temperature, which can easily be controlled by a magnetic field in the ab plane, and is therefore an excellent candidate material for spintronic applications. The AHE is closely linked to the magnetic structure. It was recently discovered that applying a magnetic field out of the ab plane induces an exceptionally large Hall effect, much larger than the ordinary Hall effect. It is speculated that this effect is caused by canting of the spins in the direction of the field. The precise magnetic structure in applied magnetic fields is not known, and there is a discrepancy between the calculated canting-induced Hall effect based on magnetization measurements, and the measured Hall effect. To resolve this, a more accurate model of the magnetic structure in high fields is needed. We here propose to use neutron diffraction to determine the induced canting of the spins in large magnetic fields for multiple temperatures to resolve this discrepancy.
