Description
Following the discovery of a quantum-limit magnetic Chern phase in
TbMn6Sn6, the magnetic topological metal series RMn6Sn6 (R=Gd-
Yb, and Y, Lu, etc.), that possesses an ideal kagome lattice of Mn, has
emerged as a new platform to explore exotic states and novel functionalities.
We have recently carried out the growth of high-quality single
crystals of the magnetic kagome metal ErMn6Sn6, and the physical
properties characterizations via the magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity,
and Hall conductivity measurements. We have also undertaken
comprehensive neutron diffraction experiments on both single-crystal
and powder samples at the WISH diffractometer at ISIS. Our study has
clearly hinted a fascinating interplay between topologically non-trivial
electronic band structures, magnetism and electronic correlations in
ErMn6Sn6.
