Fig. 1 Transport coupled with the magnetic order of Eu sublattice. (A to D) Temperature dependence of magnetic and transport properties near the AFM transition temperature (TN) for EuMnBi2. (A) Magnetic susceptibility M/H for the field parallel to the c axis (H||c) at 0.1 T (blue) and 7 T (red). Open symbols are the data for the field perpendicular to the c axis (H⊥c) at 0.1 T. (B) Intensity of resonant magnetic reflection (0 0 11) at 6.975 keV at 0 T. The inset shows the profile of the (0 0 11) reflection along [001] at 6.975 keV (resonant) and 7.00 keV (nonresonant). In-plane resistivity ρxx (C) and interlayer resistivity ρzz (D) at 0 and 9 T (H||c). Schematic sample configuration for the resistivity measurement is shown in each panel. emu/mol, electromagnetic unit per mole; a.u., arbitrary unit. (E) Schematic illustration of the plausible magnetic structure for EuMnBi2 at zero field, together with the formal valence of each ion. The arrangement of the Mn sublattice is assumed to be the same as in SrMnBi2 (45). (F) Magnetic phase diagram for the Eu sublattice as functions of field (H||c) and temperature. PM and AFM denote the paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic states, respectively. Hf and Hc correspond to the transition fields to the spin-flop AFM and PM (forced ferromagnetic) phases, respectively. Black arrows are schematic illustration of the Eu moments sandwiching the Bi− layer. Note the Mn sublattice orders at ~315 K (>TN).
Fig. 2 Magnetic field dependence of magnetic and transport properties at high fields. (A to D) M (A), ρzz (sample #3) (B), ρxx (C), and Hall resistivity ρyx (sample #1) (D) for EuMnBi2 at selected temperatures for the field parallel to the c axis up to ~55 T. Schematic illustration of the Eu2+ moments adjacent to the Bi layer for H < Hf, Hf < H < Hc, and Hc < H is presented in (A). The inset in (B) shows the field profile of ρzz (below 9 T) for EuMnBi2, EuZnBi2, and SrMnBi2. f.u., formula unit.

S7B). (B and C) ρxx, second field derivative −d2ρxx/dB2 for sample #1 (B) and ρzz for sample #3 (C) versus BF/B measured at 1.4 K. Vertical dotted lines denote half-integer multiples shifted by −γ, where γ ~ −0.1 is a phase factor estimated from the fan plot. (Inset) Landau fan plot (1/B versus N) for #1, #2, and #3. The slope and intercept with the N axis give BF and γ − δ, respectively (Table 1). A phase shift δ should be negligibly small for a quasi-2D Fermi surface, as discussed in the main text.Fig. 4 Hysteresis and split of the Landau level. ρxx as a function of 1/B at 50 mK and 1.4 K. The curve at 50 mK is shifted downward for clarity. The arrow denotes the ρxx valley noticeable at 50 mK. Long solid and dashed lines indicate the integer and half-integer multiple of BF/B − γ, respectively. Short solid line denotes the position corresponding to the field H = Hc.
