Layered Rare-Earth Intergrowth Compounds: A Platform for Correlated and Topological Properties
Invited
Abstract
The single crystalline growth of lanthanide based intermetallics has garnered much interest in the last two decades, primarily due to their unusual magnetic and electrical properties. To study the intrinsic and physical properties of highly correlated quantum systems, the growth of single crystalline intermetallics is critical. With our ongoing efforts to grow single crystals of rare earth materials, the opportunity exists to discover new compositions or robust structure types enabling subsequent substitution for correlation studies for compounds with competing magnetic behavior. In this talk, examples of the strategic selection of rare earth layered intergrowth compounds will be presented. In particular, we will present a new class of Ce-based intermetallics for fundamental correlation between the subunits and structural motifs common in highly correlated materials. To advance the field, discovering new families of highly correlated material is vital to the advancement of correlated and topological materials.
