All data are in accord with a small gap insulator with a lattice consisting of Mn+2(d(5)) ions that are antiferromagnetically coupled at low temperatures. Due to partial covalent bonding with neighboring atoms, the local moments of the Mn atoms are reduced by about 10% as compared to an isolated ion. Calculated exchange constants suggest a antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic energy difference of 36 meV per unit cell. Inclusion of spin-orbit coupling allows for the determination of the magnetic anisotropy parameter and the preferred axis of magnetization. The results are in good agreement with previous experiments. |
