    Abstract

    Correlated magnon excitations in topologically nontrivial systems remain largely unexplored experimentally. Here, we report that 10% La substitution in localized-insulator EuBiTe3 yields single crystals of La0.1Eu0.9BiTe3 that simultaneously host antiferromagnetic order (TN=7K) and a topological Weyl-semimetallic state. Magnetic susceptibility and low-temperature specific-heat measurements reveal a field-dependent minimum at TM=3K and a finite magnon gap that softens with increasing magnetic field-signatures of magnon gap formation. Electrical transport, including planar Hall measurements, follows semiclassical Boltzmann theory yet violates conventional Lorentz-force behavior, reflecting nontrivial Berry curvature effects. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy directly visualizes linearly dispersive bulk bands crossing the Fermi level and isolated two-fold-degenerate Weyl nodes. These results establish La0.1Eu0.9BiTe3 as a versatile platform for investigating the interplay between correlated magnetic excitations and topological Weyl phases.
