Half-magnetization plateau and the origin of threefold symmetry breaking in an electrically-switchable triangular antiferromagnet

Shannon C. Haley, Eran Maniv, Tessa Cookmeyer +8

We perform high-field magnetization measurements on the triangular lattice antiferromagnet Fe${}_{1/3}$NbS${}_2$. We observe a plateau in the magnetization centered at approximately ha…
