Evolution of Magnetism in Magnetic Topological Semimetal NdSb${}_x$Te${}_{2-x+\delta }$

Abstract

Magnetic topological semimetals LnSbTe (Ln = Lanthanide) have attracted intensive attention because of the presence of interplay between magnetism, topological, and electron correlations depending on the choices of magnetic Ln elements. Recently, varying Sb-Te composition has been found to effectively control the electronic and magnetic states in LnSbxTe${}_{2-x}$. With this motivation, we report the evolution of magnetic properties with Sb-Te substitution in NdSb${}_x$Te${}_{2-x+\delta }$. Our work reveals the interesting non-monotonic change in magnetic ordering temperature with varying composition stoichiometry. In addition, reducing the Sb content x drives the reorientation of moments from in-plane (ab-plane) to out-of-plane (c-axis) direction that results in the distinct magnetic structures for two end compounds NdTe${}_2$ ($x=0$) and NdSbTe ($x=1$). Furthermore, the moment orientation in NdSb${}_x$Te${}_{2-x+\delta }$ is also found to be strongly tunable upon application of weak magnetic field, leading to rich magnetic phases depending on the composition stoichiometry, temperature, and magnetic field. Such strong tuning of magnetism in this material establishes it as a promising platform for investigating tunable topological states and correlated topological physics.
