Phys.org  October 30, 2024 The rare earth RMn6Sn6 (R = rare earth) family magnetic kagome systems, where their kagome flat bands are calculated to be near the Fermi level in the paramagnetic phase have been reported. While partially filling a kagome flat band is predicted to give rise to a Stoner-type ferromagnetism, experimental visualization of the magnetic splitting across the ordering temperature has not been reported for any of these systems leaving the nature of magnetism in kagome magnets an open question. An international team of researchers (USA – Rice University, Brookhaven National Lab, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Israel, Czech Republic) probed […]
