EuMn2P2 is a member of the Eu-based 122-systems with a trigonal CaAl2Si2 crystal structure. The magnetic properties of the Eu ion in this compound are located in triangular layers of Eu2+. Several quantaties indicated the presence of A-type antiferromagnetic Eu order at ≈ 18 K, with magnetic moments oriented in the a-a plane. Nevertheless, no magnetic order of Mn was observed [1,2]. This is intriguing, given that the analogous compounds EuMn2As2 and EuMn2Sb2 exhibit phase transitions attributed to Mn magnetic order at elevated temperatures (TN = 135 K, TN = 128 K) [3,4].
In this study, we present the results of electron spin resonance (ESR), heat capacity, magnetization, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electrical resistivity measurements on EuMn2P2 single crystals, which exhibite a weak magnetic ordering attributed to Mn magnetism.
