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.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter covers the whole of condensed matter physics including soft condensed matter and nanostructures. Papers may report experimental, theoretical and simulation studies. Note that papers must contain fundamental condensed matter science: papers reporting methods of materials preparation or properties of materials without novel condensed matter content will not be accepted.
