Magnetic structure and transport properties of noncollinear LaMn 2X2 (X=Ge,Si) systems
Electronic, magnetic, and transport properties of the noncollinear naturally multilayered compounds LaMn2Ge2 and LaMn 2Si2 are addressed by first-principles calculations based on the density-functional theory. At low temperatures, these systems show a magnetic state with the Mn moments ordered in a...
