We report here a comprehensive determination of the antiferromagnetic (AFM) structures of Eu and Mn magnetic sub-lattices by using both polarized and non-polarized single-crystal neutron diffraction methods. All the magnetic moments are orientated along c axis, the magnetic propagation vector is (0,0,1) for Eu sub-lattice and (0,0,0) for Mn sub-lattice. With proper neutron absorption correction, the ordered moments are refined as about 7.7 µB and 4.1 µB for the Eu and Mn ions, respectively, at 3K. In addition, a spin-flop phase transition of Eu moments was confirmed at field Bc ∼5.3T along c axis which is constant with previous reported work [1] and the evolution of magnetic moment orientations were also determined. In the spin-flop process, we found a clear kink in the field dependence of magnetic diffraction (1,0,1) of Mn, which unambiguously indicates the existence of strong coupling between Eu and Mn moments [2].
