Magnetic structure of Mn 2 GaC thin film by neutron scattering

Abstract:: MAX phases are a family of atomically laminated materials with various potential applications. Mn2GaC is a prototype magnetic MAX phase, where complex magnetic behaviour arises due to competing interactions. We have resolved the room temperature magnetic structure of Mn2GaC by neutron diffraction from single-crystal thin films and we propose a magnetic model for the low temperature phase. It orders in a helical structure, with a rotation angle that changes gradually between 120° and 90° depending on temperature.
