Executive Summary : | Kagome compounds exhibit unique physical properties due to their unique lattice geometry. TRS-breaking Weyl semimetals offer a rich exotic quantum state, including quantum anomalous Hall effects and axion insulators. Newly discovered AV3Sb5 compounds offer new opportunities to connect superconductivity with Kagome physics. However, the rare manifestation of kagome materials limits the investigation to a small compound space. The development of kagome physics relies on finding suitable material systems with low dimensionality and symmetry-breaking instabilities. Kagome materials are used in spintronic applications due to their high Nernst or seebeck coefficients. The plan is to synthesize new multicomponent transition metal-based Kagome compounds using Bridgman technique, funded by proposed funding. The origin of their unusual behavior will be investigated through transport, element-specific magnetic measurements, and ARPES. |
