We uncover a high-field magnetic phase in i-MAX compounds exhibiting a canted antiferromagnetic (AFM) order with unprecedented properties, revealed through NMR and AC susceptibility. Intriguingly, as the atomic number of Rare Earth increases, the transition field of this canted AFM phase grows at the expense of the lower-field AFM state. Our findings point to the complexity of the magnetic structure in i-MAX compounds, demonstrating a non-trivial evolution of their phase diagram while increasing both the atomic number of the Rare Earth element and the external field.
