A single crystal study of Kagome metals U$_2$Mn$_3$Ge and U$_2$Fe$_3$Ge

Single crystals of U$_2$Mn$_3$Ge and and U$_2$Fe$_3$Ge with a Kagome lattice structure were synthesized using a high-temperature self-flux crystal growth method. The physical properties of these crystals were characterized through measurements of resistivity, magnetism, and specific heat. U$_2$Fe$_3...

Zusammenfassung:Single crystals of U$_2$Mn$_3$Ge and and U$_2$Fe$_3$Ge with a Kagome lattice structure were synthesized using a high-temperature self-flux crystal growth method. The physical properties of these crystals were characterized through measurements of resistivity, magnetism, and specific heat. U$_2$Fe$_3$Ge exhibits ferromagnetic ground state and Anomalous Hall Effect, and U$_2$Mn$_3$Ge demonstrates a complex magnetic structure. Both compounds exhibit large Sommerfeld coefficient, indicating coexistence of heavy Fermion behavior with magnetism. Our results suggest that this U$_2$TM$_3$Ge (TM = Mn, Fe, Co) family is a promising platform to investigate the interplay of magnetism, Kondo physics and the Kagome lattice.
