EuAl 4 possesses the BaAl crystal structure type with tetragonal symmetry I 4/ mmm . It undergoes a charge density wave (CDW) transition at T CDW = 145 K and features four consecutive antiferromagnetic phase transitions below 16 K.

Abstract Anomalous transport of topological semimetals has generated significant interest for applications in optoelectronics, nanoscale devices, and interconnects. Understanding the origin novel is crucial to engineering desired material properties, yet their orders magnitude higher than single‐particle mobilities remain unexplained. This work demonstrates dramatic mobility enhancements result from phonons primarily returning momentum electrons due phonon‐electron dominating over...

In Eu2ZnIrO6, effectively two atoms are active i.e. Ir is magnetically active, which results in complex magnetic ordering within the sublattice at low temperature. On other hand, although Eu a van-vleck paramagnet, it electronic channels involving 4f 6 crystal-field split levels.

Abstract Advancements in low‐dimensional functional device technology heavily rely on the discovery of suitable materials which have interesting physical properties as well can be exfoliated down to 2D limit. Exfoliable high‐mobility magnets are one such class that, not due lack effort, has been limited only a handful options. So far, most attention focused van der Waals (vdW) systems. However, even within non‐vdW, layered materials, it is possible find all these desirable features. Using...
