Figure 1

Nuclear and magnetic structure of ${\mathrm{CrSb}}_2$ [6, 9]. Red and green spheres are Cr sites, where both the vector and color represent the spin orientation. Small blue spheres are the Sb sites shown only for the three unit cells on the right of the figure for clarity. Nearest neighbor exchange constants are labeled and shown as heavy black lines.Reuse & Permissions

Figure 2

LSDA calculated electronic density of states $N(E)$ per formula unit (fu) for the AFM order of the magnetic ground state (AFM-D). The table inset lists the configurations and calculated LSDA energies per formula unit relative to the nonspin polarized case (see text).Reuse & Permissions

Figure 3

$T=10\mathrm{K}$ INS spectra of ${\mathrm{CrSb}}_2$ along principal axes of the reciprocal lattice. (a)–(c) [(d)–(f)] Data were measured using HB3 (ARCS). (d)–(f) have been background subtracted as described in the text. (a) [(b)–(f)] were measured with the sample in the ($H$ $K$ $K$)[(0 $K$ $L$)] scattering plane. Open circles correspond to peak positions determined from extracted constant $\mathbf{Q}$ scans as described in the text. Open squares in (c) correspond to peak positions from ARCS and HB3 constant $\mathbf{Q}$ scans along the [$H$ $\frac{(2K+1)}{2}$ $L$] directions where $H$ and $K$ are integers. Vertical (horizontal) error bars represent the fitted peaks full width at half maximum (range of $\mathbf{Q}$ integration). The grey solid line is the fitted spin-wave dispersion described in the text.Reuse & Permissions

Figure 4

Thermal conductivity of ${\mathrm{CrSb}}_2$ as a function of temperature. The main panel illustrates thermal conductivity as measured along orthogonal crystallographic directions. The inset is the difference of the data in the main panel [$\kappa (c)-\kappa (110)$] for $T>50\mathrm{K}$ as described in the text.Reuse & Permissions
