Popis: We use high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to study the electronic and magnetic properties of La2Ni7, an itinerant magnetic system with a series of three magnetic transition temperatures upon cooling, which end in a weak itinerant antiferromagnetic (wAFM) ground state. Our APRES data reveal several electron and hole pockets that have hexagonal symmetry near the $\Gamma$ point. We observe significant reconstruction of the band structure upon successive magnetic transitions at T1 = 61 K, T2 = 57 K and T3 = 42 K. The experimental data are in a reasonable agreement with DFT calculations, demonstrating their applicability to itinerant antiferromagnet systems. Our results detail the effects of magnetic ordering on the electronic structure in a Ni-based weak antiferromagnet.
