contents A single crystalline system typically stabilizes a unique state for spin ordering below a critical temperature. Certain materials exhibit multiple magnetic states, driven by structural phase transitions under varying thermodynamic conditions. Recently, van der Waals magnets have demonstrated subtle interlayer exchange interactions, offering a promising approach to electrically control spin states without structural transformation. Here, we report the emergence of three distinct magnetic states, ferromagnetic ordering and both collinear and non-collinear antiferromagnetic orderings, in a layered single crystalline magnet, cobalt-doped Fe3GaTe2 ((Co, Fe)3GaTe2). These three magnetic phases occur without structural phase transitions, a phenomenon we designate as polymorphic spin ordering in the material. The introduction of 16% Co-doping in Fe3GaTe2 modulates the interlayer magnetic interaction, enabling multiple spin orderings within the same lattice system with three critical temperatures: a Curie temperature for a ferromagnetic state (Tc=210 K) and two Neel temperatures for the collinear (TN1=110 K) and non-collinear (TN2=30 K) antiferromagnetic states. Our findings are supported by magnetic force microscopy, first-principles calculations, and circular dichroism angular photoemission spectroscopy, which reveals varying spin ordering and changes in the topological band structure and Berry curvature at different temperatures within the single-crystalline (Co, Fe)3GaTe2.
