Hidden magnetic phases in <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mi>i</mml:mi></mml:math>-MAX compounds
We uncover a high-field magnetic phase in <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><a:mrow><a:mi>i</a:mi></a:mrow></a:math>-MAX compounds exhibiting a canted antiferromagnetic order with unprecedented properties, revealed through NMR and AC susceptibility. Intriguingly, as the atomic number of rare earth increases, the transition field of this canted antiferromagnetic phase grows at the expense of the lower-field antiferromagnetic state. Our findings point to the complexity of the magnetic structure in <b:math xmlns:b="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><b:mrow><b:mi>i</b:mi></b:mrow></b:math>-MAX compounds, demonstrating a nontrivial evolution of their phase diagram while increasing both the atomic number of the rare-earth element and the external field.
