摘要

Crystallographic, electronic transport, thermal, and magnetic properties are reported for SrMn_2As_2 and CaMn_2As_2 single crystals grown using Sn flux. Rietveld refinements of powder x-ray diffraction data show that the two compounds are isostructural and crystallize in the trigonal CaAl_2Si_2-type structure (space group P3m1), in agreement with the literature. Electrical resistivity ρ versus temperature T measurements demonstrate insulating ground states for both compounds with activation energies of 85 meV for SrMn_2As_2 and 61 meV for CaMn_2As_2. In a local-moment picture, the Mn~(+2) 3d~5 ions are expected to have high-spin S = 5/2 with spectroscopic splitting factor g ≈ 2. Magnetic susceptibility X and heat capacity C_p measurements versus T reveal antiferromagnetic (AFM) transitions at T_N = 120(2) K and 62(3) K for SrMn_2As_2 and CaMn_2As_2, respectively. The anisotropic X(T ≤ _N) data indicate that the hexagonal c axis is the hard axis and hence that the ordered Mn moments are aligned in the ab plane. The X(T) data for both compounds and the C_p(T) for SrMn_2As_2 show strong dynamic short-range AFM correlations from _N up to at least 900 K, likely associated with quasi-two-dimensional connectivity of strong AFM exchange interactions between the Mn spins within the corrugated honeycomb Mn layers parallel to the ab plane.
