Electronic and magnetic properties of a novel rare-earth-based Kagome lattice candidate

We discuss the susceptibility, transport and heat capacity results from high-quality single crystals of a rare-earth-based Kagome metal candidate. While the low-temperature ground state is antiferromagnetic, there is a broad maximum at around 60 K for certain directions of magnetic field robust up to 7 T. Combined with a reduced value of moment in ab-plane and a huge anisotropy, we could interpret the state as a short-range correlated state reminiscent of a thermally-driven spin liquid.
