The trigonal structure of EuMn$_{2}$As$_{2}$ is an anomaly in the tetragonal 122-type pnictide family. We report detailed investigation of the underlying magnetic correlations in single crystal EuMn$_{2}$As$_{2}$ using high resolution elastic neutron scattering measurements. The system undergoes through two successive antiferromagnetic transitions at $T$ = 135 K and 14.4 K, respectively. Numerical modeling of the experimental data reveals the long range antiferromagnetic correlation of Mn-ions in the $a-b$ plane below $T_N1$ = 135 K. Mn spins are aligned closer to the diagonal axis of the unit cell. The lower temperature transition, below $T_N2$ = 14.4 K, is found to arise due to the long range antiferromagnetic correlation of Eu spins that are rotated by $theta$ = 55 degree from the $c$-axis of the unit cell.

Fe pnictides and related materials have been a topic of intense research for understanding the complex interplay between magnetism and superconductivity. Here we report on the magnetic structure of SrMn$_{2}$As$_{2}$ that crystallizes in a trigonal s
tructure ($Pbar{3}m1$) and undergoes an antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition at $T_{textrm c}$ $= 118(2)$ K. The magnetic susceptibility remains nearly constant at temperatures $T le T_{textrm N}$ with $textbf{H}parallel textbf{c}$ whereas it decreases significantly with $textbf{H}parallel textbf{ab}$. This shows that the ordered Mn moments lie in the $textbf{ab}$-plane instead of aligning along the $textbf{c}$-axis as in tetragonal BaMn$_{2}$As$_{2}$. Single-crystal neutron diffraction measurements on SrMn$_{2}$As$_{2}$ demonstrate that the Mn moments are ordered in a collinear N{e}el AFM phase with $180^circ$ AFM alignment between a moment and all nearest neighbor moments in the basal plane and also perpendicular to it. Moreover, quasi-two-dimensional AFM order is manifested in SrMn$_{2}$As$_{2}$ as evident from the temperature dependence of the order parameter.
CaCo$_{2}$As$_{2}$, a ThCr$_{2}$Si$_{2}$-structure compound, undergoes an antiferromagnetic transition at emph{T$_{N}$}=76K with the magnetic moments being aligned parallel to the emph{c} axis. Electronic transport measurement reveals that the coupli
ng between conducting carriers and magnetic order in CaCo$_{2}$As$_{2}$ is much weaker comparing to the parent compounds of iron pnictide. Applying magnetic field along emph{c} axis induces two successive spin-flop transitions in its magnetic state. The magnetization saturation behaviors with emph{textbf{H}$parallel$c} and emph{textbf{H}$parallel$ab} at 10K indicate that the antiferromagnetic coupling along emph{c} direction is very weak. The interlayer antiferromagntic coupling constant emph{J$_{c}$} is estimated to be about 2 meV.
The iron-based high temperature superconductors exhibit a rich phase diagram reflecting a complex interplay between spin, lattice, and orbital degrees of freedom [1-4]. The nematic state observed in many of these compounds epitomizes this complexity,
by entangling a real-space anisotropy in the spin fluctuation spectrum with ferro-orbital order and an orthorhombic lattice distortion [5-7]. A more subtle and much less explored facet of the interplay between these degrees of freedom arises from the sizable spin-orbit coupling present in these systems, which translates anisotropies in real space into anisotropies in spin space. Here, we present a new technique enabling nuclear magnetic resonance under precise tunable strain control, which reveals that upon application of a tetragonal symmetry-breaking strain field, the magnetic fluctuation spectrum in the paramagnetic phase of BaFe$_{2}$As$_{2}$ also acquires an anisotropic response in spin-space. Our results unveil a hitherto uncharted internal spin structure of the nematic order parameter, indicating that similar to liquid crystals, electronic nematic materials may offer a novel route to magneto-mechanical control.
BaMn$_{2}$As$_{2}$ is an antiferromagnetic insulator where a metal-insulator transition occurs with hole doping via the substitution of Ba with K. The metal-insulator transition causes only a small suppression of the Neel temperature ($T_mathrm{N}$)
and the ordered moment, suggesting that doped holes interact weakly with the Mn spin system. Powder inelastic neutron scattering measurements were performed on three different powder samples of Ba$_{1-x}$K$_{x}$Mn$_{2}$As$_{2}$ with $x=$0, 0.125 and 0.25 to study the effect of hole doping and metallization on the spin dynamics of these compounds. We compare the neutron intensities to a linear spin wave theory approximation to the $J_{1}-J_{2}-J_{c}$ Heisenberg model. Hole doping is found to introduce only minor modifications to the exchange energies and spin gap. The changes observed in the exchange constants are consistent with the small drop of $T_mathrm{N}$ with doping.
The trigonal compound EuSn2As2 was recently discovered to host Dirac surface states within the bulk band gap and orders antiferromagnetically below the Neel temperature TN = 24 K. Here the magnetic ground state of single-crystal EuSn2As2 and the evol
ution of its properties versus temperature T and applied magnetic field H are reported. Included are zero-field single-crystal neutron-diffraction measurements versus T, magnetization M(H,T), magnetic susceptibility chi(H,T) = M(T)/H, heat capacity Cp(H,T), and electrical resistivity rho(H,T) measurements. The neutron-diffraction and chi(T) measurements both indicate a collinear A-type antiferromagnetic (AFM) structure below TN =23.5(2) K, where the Eu{2+} spins S = 7/2 in a triangular ab-plane layer (hexagonal unit cell) are aligned ferromagnetically in the ab plane whereas the spins in adjacent Eu planes along the c axis are aligned antiferromagnetically. The chi(H{ab},T) and chi(H{c},T) data together indicate a smooth crossover between the collinear AFM alignment and an unknown magnetic structure at H ~ 0.15 T. Dynamic spin fluctuations up to 60 K are evident in the chi(T), Cp(T) and rho(H,T) measurements, a temperature that is more than twice TN. The rho(H,T) of the compound does not reflect a contribution of the topological state, but rather is consistent with a low-carrier-density metal with strong magnetic scattering. The magnetic phase diagrams for both H||c and H||ab in the H-T plane are constructed from the TN(H), chi(H,T), Cp(H,T), and rho(H,T) data.
