Abstract:There is an ongoing interest in kagome materials because they offer tunable platforms at the intersection of magnetism and electron correlation. Herein, we examine single crystals of new kagome materials, Ln x Co 3 (Ge 1−y Sn y ) 3 (Ln = Y, Gd; y = 0.11, 0.133), which were produced using the Sn flux-growth method. Unlike many of the related chemical analogues with the LnM 6 X 6 formula (M = transition metal and X = Ge, Sn), the Y and Gd analogues crystallize in a hybrid YCo 6 Ge 6 /CoSn structure, with Sn subs… Show more
