Materials Data on TmAgGe by Materials Project

TmAgGe crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tm is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ag and five Ge atoms. There are two shorter (3.15 Å) and four longer (3.33 Å) Tm–Ag bond lengths. There are one shorter (2.97 Å) and four longer (2.99 Å) Tm–Ge bond lengths. Ag is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Tm, two equivalent Ag, and four Ge atoms. Both Ag–Ag bond lengths are 3.11 Å. There are two shorter (2.71 Å) and two longer (2.75 Å) Ag–Ge bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Tm and six equivalent Ag atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Tm and three equivalent Ag atoms.

Magnetic ground state and perturbations of the distorted kagome Ising metal TmAgGe

Here, we present the magnetic orders and excitations of the distorted kagome intermetallic magnet TmAgGe. Using neutron single crystal diffraction we identify the propagation vectors k = ($\frac{1}{2}$ 0 0) and k = (0 0 0) and determine the magnetic structures of the zero-field and magnetic field-induced phases for H along the $\mathcal{a}$ and [–110] crystal directions. We determine the experimental magnetic field- temperature (H, T)-phase diagram and reproduce it by Monte Carlo simulations of an effective spin exchange Hamiltonian for one distorted kagome layer. Our model includes a strong axial single-ion anisotropy and significantly smaller exchange couplings, which span up to the third-nearest neighbors within the layer. Single crystal inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements reveal an almost flat, only weakly dispersive mode around 7 meV that we use alongside bulk magnetization data to deduce the crystal-electric field (CEF) scheme for the Tm 3+ ions. Random phase approximation (RPA) calculations based on the determined CEF wave functions of the two lowest quasidoublets enable an estimation of the interlayer coupling that is compatible with the experimental INS spectra. No evidence for low-energy spin waves associated to the magnetic order was found, which is consistent with the strongly Ising nature of the ground state.
