A single crystal study of Kagome metals U2Mn3Ge and U2Fe3Ge

Single crystals of U₂Mn₃Ge and U₂Fe₃Ge 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. U₂Fe₃Ge exhibits ferromagnetic ground state and anomalous Hall effect, and U₂Mn₃Ge demonstrates a complex magnetic structure. Both compounds exhibit large Sommerfeld coefficient, indicating coexistence of heavy Fermion behaviour with magnetism. Our results suggest that this U₂TM₃Ge (TM = Mn, Fe, Co) family is a promising platform to investigate the interplay of magnetism, Kondo physics and the Kagome lattice.
