Few of the known antiferromagnetic materials are suitable for use in spintronic devices. Here, the authors show that Mn2Au, which was believed to be paramagnetic, is an antiferromagnet, combining high Néel temperature and in-plane anisotropy, thus demonstrating its potential for antiferromagnetic spintronics.
