Resonant x-ray scattering study of diffuse magnetic scattering from the topological semimetals EuCd2As2 and EuCd2Sb2

We have investigated the magnetic correlations in the candidate Weyl semimetals EuCd2Pn2 (Pn=As, Sb) by resonant elastic x-ray scattering at the Eu2+ M5 edge. The temperature and field dependence of the diffuse scattering of EuCd2As2 provide direct evidence that the Eu moments exhibit slow ferromagn...
