Crystal Structure
Structural property summary
- Single crystal form: dark gray, metallic luster, square/rectangle facets
- Structure type: Layered, P4/nmm (may undergo orth. distortion in case of Sb deficiency)
- Air sensitivity: Bulk – light; Nano flake – moderate
Transport Properties
Resistivity- Temperature dependence
- Non-metallic
Hall effect
e-type
Magnetic Properties
Magnetization- Temperature dependence
Note: Antiferromagnetic below 2.7 K
Magnetization- Magnetic field dependence
Note: Metamagnetic transitions (Hc1 and Hc2 in the figure)
Specific Heat
Specific Heat (C/T vs T)
Electronic structure
Top: ARPES equal energy surfaces
Bottom: Calculated equal energy surfaces
ARPES band dispersion
The lack of photon energy dependence indicates two-dimensionality
