We used single-crystal x-ray and neutron diffraction to investigate the crystal and magnetic structures of trigonal lattice iridate Ca2Sr2IrO6. The crystal structure is determined to be $Rbar3$ with two distinct Ir sites. The system exhibits long-range antiferromagnetic order below $T_N = 13.1$ K. The magnetic wave vector is identified as $(0,0.5,1)$ with ferromagnetic coupling along the $a$ axis and antiferromagnetic correlation along the $b$ axis. Spins align dominantly within the basal plane along the [1,2,0] direction and tilt 34$^circ$ towards the $c$ axis. The ordered moment is 0.66(3) $mu_B$/Ir, larger than other iridates where iridium ions form corner- or edge-sharing $rm IrO_6$ octahedral networks. The tilting angle is reduced to $approx19^circ$ when a magnetic field of 4.9 Tesla is applied along the $c$ axis. Density functional theory calculations confirm that the experimentally determined magnetic configuration is the most probable ground state with an insulating gap $sim0.5$~eV.
Motivated by the recently synthesized insulating nickelate Ni$_2$Mo$_3$O$_8$, which has been reported to have an unusual non-collinear magnetic order of Ni$^{2+}$ $S=1$ moments with a nontrivial angle between adjacent spins, we construct an effective
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
Spin-orbit coupling is an important ingredient in many spin liquid candidate materials, especially among the rare-earth magnets and Kitaev materials. We explore the rare-earth chalcogenides NaYbS$_2$ where the Yb$^{3+}$ ions form a perfect triangular
Novel magnetic ordering on the honeycomb lattice due to emergent weak anisotropic interactions generated by the mixing between the $J=1/2$ sector and the magnetically inactive 3/2 sector is investigated in a three-orbital interacting electron model i
Single crystal neutron diffraction, inelastic neutron scattering, bulk magnetization measurements, and first-principles calculations are used to investigate the magnetic properties of the honeycomb lattice $rm Tb_2Ir_3Ga_9$. While the $Rln2$ magnetic
