A van der Waals compound MnBi4Te7 belongs to the family of (Bi2Te3)n(MnBi2Te4), (n = 0, 1, 2) heterostructures and is a candidate magnetic topological insulator [1]. It is the first magnetic material that features both, the intrinsic net magnetization and a band inversion. Static magnetic susceptibility (χ) and magnetization (M) measurements as a function of the applied field (H) on MnBi4Te7 single-crystals show an antiferromagnetic state at TN = 13 K and a ferromagnetic-like hysteresis occurring upon cooling below 5 K [1]. We performed electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy measurements in wide frequency and temperature ranges to explore the dynamic magnetic properties of MnBi4Te7. From high-frequency ESR measurements, we obtain evidence that MnBi4Te7 is an easy-axis type ferromagnet and ferromagnetic spin correlations persist up to T = 30 K on the time scale of an ESR experiment (10−10 - 10−11 s).
