RESUMO
The magnetization measurement was performed in the Bi0.3Sb1.7Te3 single crystal. The magnetic susceptibility revealed a paramagnetic peak independent of the experimental temperature variation. It is speculated to be originated from the free-aligned spin texture at the Dirac point. The ARPES reveals that the Fermi level lies below the Dirac point. The Fermi wavevector extracted from the de Haas-van Alphen oscillation is consistent with the energy dispersion in the ARPES. Our experimental results support that the observed paramagnetic peak in the susceptibility curve does not originate from the free-aligned spin texture at the Dirac point.
RESUMO
The magnetic susceptibility reveals a discontinuity at Néel temperature and a hysteresis loop with low coercive field was observed below Néel temperature. The magnetic susceptibility of zero field cool and field cool processes coincide at a temperature above the discontinuity, and they split at temperature blow the discontinuity. The magnetic susceptibility splitting is larger at lower external magnetic fields. No more magnetic susceptibility splitting was observed at a magnetic field above 7000 Oe which is consistent with the magnetic anisotropy energy. Our study supports that these magnetic susceptibility characteristics originate from an antiferromagnetic order accompanied by weak ferromagnetism.
