  Recent work analyzing the impact of non-symmorphic symmetries on electronic
states has given rise to the discovery of multiple types of topological matter.
Here we report the single-crystal synthesis and magnetic properties of
EuGa2Sb2, an Eu-based antiferromagnet structurally consisting of pseudo-1D
chains of Eu ions related by a non-symmorphic glide plane. We find the onset of
antiferromagnetic order at TN = 8 K. Above TN the magnetic susceptibility is
isotropic. Curie-Weiss analysis suggests competing ferromagnetic and
antiferromagnetic interactions, with peff = 8.1 muB as expected for 4f7 J = S =
7/2 Eu^2+ ions. Below TN and at low applied magnetic fields, an anisotropy
develops linearly, reaching chi perpendicular over chi parallel =6 at T = 2 K.
There is concomitant metamagnetic behavior along with chi parallel, with a
magnetic field of mu0 H=0.5 T sufficient to suppress the anisotropy.
Independent of crystal orientation, there is a continuous evolution to a field
polarized paramagnetic state with M=7 muB/Eu^2+ cation at mu0 H=2 T as T
approaches 0 K. Specific heat measurements show a recovered magnetic entropy of
dSmag=16.4 J/mol.K from T near 0 K to T = TN, close to the expected value of
Rln(8) for an S = 7/2 ion, indicating negligible low dimensional spin
fluctuations above TN. We find no evidence of unusual behaviors arising either
from the dimensionality or the presence of the non-symmorphic symmetries.
