Materials Data on Eu(MnSb)2 by Materials Project

EuMn2Sb2 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Eu2+ is bonded to six equivalent Sb3- atoms to form EuSb6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent MnSb4 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent EuSb6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent MnSb4 tetrahedra. All Eu–Sb bond lengths are 3.28 Å. Mn2+ is bonded to four equivalent Sb3- atoms to form MnSb4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent EuSb6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent MnSb4 tetrahedra, edges with three equivalent EuSb6 octahedra, and edges with three equivalent MnSb4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 18–52°. There are three shorter (2.76 Å) and one longer (2.77 Å) Mn–Sb bond lengths. Sb3- is bonded to three equivalent Eu2+ and four equivalent Mn2+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SbEu3Mn4 pentagonal bipyramids.

High-entropy engineering of the crystal and electronic structures in a Dirac material

Dirac and Weyl semimetals are a central topic of contemporary condensed matter physics, and the discovery of new compounds with Dirac/Weyl electronic states is crucial to the advancement of topological materials and quantum technologies. Here we show a widely applicable strategy that uses high configuration entropy to engineer relativistic electronic states. We take the A MnSb 2 ( A = Ba, Sr, Ca, Eu, and Yb) Dirac material family as an example and demonstrate that mixing of Ba, Sr, Ca, Eu and Yb at the A site generates the compound (Ba 0.38 Sr 0.14 Ca 0.16 Eu 0.16 Yb 0.16 )MnSb 2 (denoted as A 5 MnSb 2 ), giving access to a polar structure with a space group that is not present in any of the parent compounds. A 5 MnSb 2 is an entropy-stabilized phase that preserves its linear band dispersion despite considerable lattice disorder. Although both A 5 MnSb 2 and A MnSb 2 have quasi-two-dimensional crystal structures, the two-dimensional Dirac states in the pristine A MnSb 2 evolve into a highly anisotropic quasi-three-dimensional Dirac state triggered by local structure distortions in the high-entropy phase, which is revealed by Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations measurements.
