Eu-based Zintl-phase materials $\mathrm{Eu}{A}_{2}P{n}_{2}$ $(A=\mathrm{Mg},\mathrm{In},\mathrm{Cd},\mathrm{Zn};Pn=\mathrm{Bi},\mathrm{Sb},\mathrm{As},\mathrm{P})$ have generated significant recent interest owing to the complex interplay of magnetism and band topology. Here, we investigated the crystallographic, magnetic, and electronic properties of layered Zintl-phase single crystals of ${\mathrm{EuMg}}_{2}{\mathrm{Sb}}_{2}$ with the trigonal ${\mathrm{CaAl}}_{2}{\mathrm{Si}}_{2}$ crystal structure (space group $P\overline{3}m1$). Electrical resistivity measurements complemented with …
