| contents | FeSi is a curious example of a $d$-electron system that manifests many of the same phenomena associated with $f$-electron Kondo insulators, including conducting surface states with potentially non-trivial topology. Here we investigate the magnetization and magnetotransport of these surface states and how a 2D ferromagnetic state at the surface of FeSi influences the surface conductivity. We confirm the 2D ferromagnetism via a systematic study of magnetization on groups of filtered fragments with increasing surface area-to-volume ratios, identifying characteristic temperatures and magnetic fields associated with the ordered state. The paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition appears broadened, suggesting disorder, which allows spin fluctuations to manifest up to at least 9 T at 2 K. This highlights the need to understand the relation between the disorder of the 2D ferromagnetism and the surface conductivity in FeSi. |
