Abstract

Topological insulator with antiferromagnetic order can serve as an ideal platform for the realization of axion electrodynamics. In this paper, we report a systematic study of the axion topological insulator candidate EuInAs. A linear energy dispersion across the Fermi level confirms the existence of the proposed hole-type Fermi pocket. Spin-flop transitions occur with magnetic fields applied within the -plane while are absent for fields parallel to the -axis. Anisotropic magnetic phase diagrams are observed and the orientation of the ground magnetic moment is found to be within the -plane. The magnetoresistivity for EuInAs behaves non-monotonic as a function of field strength. It exhibits angular dependent evolving due to field-driven and temperature-driven magnetic states. These results indicate that the magnetic states of EuInAs strongly affect the transport properties as well as the topological nature.
