Materials with a combination of non–trivial band topology and long-range magnetic order have been long desired, since it is expected the appearance of novel spintronic phenomena. Following theoretical advances material candidates are emerging. MnBi2Te4 is the first antiferromagnetic topological insulator [1] and the progenitor of a modular (Bi2Te3)n(MnBi2Te4) series. For n = 1, it is established an antiferromagnetic state below 13 K followed by a state with net magnetization and ferromagnetic–like hysteresis below 5 K. Through static and dynamic magnetic characterization of single crystals, we build up a picture of the intriguing magnetic ground state of this new compound. Our results render MnBi4Te7 as a band inverted material with an intrinsic net magnetization and a complex magnetic phase diagram providing a versatile platform for the realization of different topological phases.
