As in most 5f compounds, the origin of antiferromagnetism in uranium mononitride (UN) cannot be solely related to either itinerant or local behavior. While inelastic neutron scattering [1] and photoemission measurements [2] as well as bandstructure calculations suggest an itinerant nature, the recently discovered metamagnetic transition at 55 T [3] contradicts this picture. To investigate this spin-flop-like transition with transport measurements, we fabricated microstructures from single-crystalline UN using focussed ion beam technique. The gained resolution allows us to study the temperature and field-dependent Hall effect and longitudinal electrical transport in great detail.
