Single crystal growth of Weyl semimetal candidates

ORAL

Abstract

Following the discovery of topological Weyl semimetals in non-magnetic materials, ferromagnetic Weyl semimetals have now been discovered with materials such as YbMnBi2, Co2MnGa, and Co3Sn2S2. With the different structures of the already discovered ferromagnetic Weyl semimetals, this suggests that more ternary intermetallic compounds can be found displaying the connection between ferromagnetism and topology. Here, we report a systematic growth study and search for other ternary intermetallics displaying magnetism and topology. We utilize metallic self-flux methods to grow single crystals of compounds isostructural to YbMnBi2 and Co2MnGa.
