Abstract
We use resonant elastic x-ray scattering to determine the evolution of magnetic order in EuCd2As2 below TN = 9.5 K, as a function of temperature and applied magnetic field. We find an A-type antiferromagnetic structure with in-plane magnetic moments, and observe dramatic magnetoresistive effects associated with field-induced changes in the magnetic structure and domain populations. Our ab initio electronic structure calculations indicate that the Dirac dispersion found in the nonmagnetic Dirac semimetal Cd3As2 is also present in EuCd2As2, but is gapped for T <TN due to the breaking of C3 symmetry by the magnetic structure.
