Can one manipulate topology with magnetism? The case of Co3Sn2S2 kagome ferromagnet
In magnetic Weyl semimetals, non-trivial topological properties emerge below the magnetic transition, offering a potential way to control topology through temperature or, more intriguingly, via magnetic order if it can …
Frustrated magnetism in an anisotropic kagome material: Y-Kapellasite
Y3Cu9(OH)19Cl8, also coined as Y-kapellasite, realizes an original anisotropic frustrated kagome model. We studied large phase-pure single crystals, obtained via an external gradient method, by susceptibility, specific heat, thermal expansion, …
